1 Year into SR shaving, time to learn to clean a edge up.
I am planning on using this thread to keep my experiences straight, so feel free to not reply!
History:
I have a few straights:
1 Dovo BQ
1 Wiederstrahl
2 J.A. Henckels(just returned from Obie sharp as can be)
1 Whipped Dog Straight
I believe the Dovo, and the whipped could use a little sharpening(I have balsa strop with pastes from Larry at WDS as well), but I am very interested in learning to hone.
I was at the Barbershop today talking straights while getting my hair chopped and one of the barbers(a older gent) had a old barbers hone sitting in a drawer that he let me borrow(hoping I can buy it if you gentlemen say its a good stone).
None of my blades are dull by any means, but I think a full honing is beyond my abilities as of now, but a refreshing on a barbers hone sounds reasonable.
Currently reading through the WiKi to get a good understanding on where to start.
Here is the stone:
