Thread: Honing my own razors

So you are saying to start you won't need a complete set of hones.
OK but eventually you will, so the cost is still there.
New anyway. But if you buy used you need you need some silicon carbide to flatten them or something else......
It all costs money and $300 for a good sharpening kit in my mind is reasonable.
Then while you learn you are going to mess up a couple at least. Not trying to be negative but it is a learning curve.
Then you might fall down the rabbit hole. I have one surgical black that has a slight defect in one corner that doesn't effect sharpening that cost me $300.

There is a used collection of hones for sale here for $400 at the moment that may be a good set to start with.

I have no conection with the seller!
