Hey guys,
I never knew there was so much to straight razor shaving before I attached reading your threads. You guys know your stuff. I have an j.r.Torrey 5/8 round point and am trying to get it ready for my first shave. Honing seems pretty straight forward but all my reading tells me it is a fine art. The razor was fairly sharp prior to taking 10passes on the Apart hone. My jewelers loupe shows a nice saw tooth pattern and I am about to take it on the strop when I get it. The razor had shown wear on the spine so I did not wrap electrical tape when honing. Does anyone out there know what grit the apart hone is? Thanks for the help in advance.
