Thread: Old Books on Razors and Honing

Some very interesting thoughts in those Thank You for posting

There are many important honing tricks hidden in there, described so well.

I liked his giving stroke numbers. Also going from bevel setting on up. Interesting that he said if a razor was 'tired' with one hone try another. His saying that some razors respond better to oil stones and others waterstones depending on temper. Also recommending slurry on German hones diluting toward the finish. Great stuff. I will put a lot of miles on that little book.

Excellent links. Many thanks.

Hey, Everyone;

I'm really glad you found this post to be useful. I was just sort of browsing around on the net when I came upon these. I'll keep my eye open for other 'lost' works out there. In the meantime, it might be useful if someone would add these links into the WIKI area so that all the SRP members can take advantage of them.
