Then that one looks like it will do the trick. Are you also talking about cooking knifes?

This one works for cooking knifes

Well that changes a few things, and now I had to delete the whole post I wrote...

If you would have just asked that to begin with it would have eliminated all the posts saying "Not a good idea for razors"

It has more than 1 moving part, so it's beyond me.
I will stick with a stone.

well the point was to have something that will work for both.. this thing has the same stones that I would get for the razor..Look guy I am looking for why it won't work well I am not sold either way so here is the video.

Yeah, no. Not for razors.

Buy it. Try it and let us know..

Regards,

Howard

that is really what I think that I will do I am just tryig to understand why people are saying no.. is some pit fall that my untrained eye is missing? All I am seeing no with no reason or explaination... well one person gave a reason but that was before I mentioned that you can move it to set the correct angle

Supernas, You're really banging your head against a mountain of experience. They're not saying no because they're opposed to your views. These members have thousands of hours of razor honing experience and they know what works and doesn't work. Razors are not knives. If that system would work for razors, we'd all be talking about how best to tweak it and use it. Honing methods and sharpening system recommendations come and go. Tried and true methods survive! If you really believe that his system will work, truly, buy it and try it on your razors, but I know that you will find that the advice you got here will endure! I hope this is of some help!

Sincerely,

Howard

The reason it won't work on razors is it relies on the tang to set the angle. If the spine is warped as most razors are the geometry has no relation to the tang. Classic case of someone trying to build a better mousetrap. Unless the device can allow for variable contact points as does an educated hand it is useless for most razors.

Ok I have tried now 4 times to write a non-sarcastic post I just can't do it, sorry

Put as simply as possible, if it were really that easy don't you think we would be using one ????
