I'm looking to learn honing and, like an idiot, I decided that my first attempt at honing would be an old W&B Barber's Rattler. I'm either totally incompetent or it has some seriously uneven wear. I would love to get this thing shaving sharp, but I can't even get a bevel set. I'm hoping that maybe there's someone local who could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I guess I could always send my razor to someone to have it sharpened, but I don't feel like I would learn anything that way.
That may not be the best 1 to learn on. Send it out if you use it and find some e-bay scrap to learn on. :<0) I do hope you find someone close to help you learn and if you do great, forget my other advice.
Where are you in N.M?
Albuquerque.
Where in NM are you located?
Thread bump, I'm in Clovis, how many more people are in NM?
