Film is easy but it has a "surgical" feel to it. No comparison to a great Jnat edge.

i can hone some of my razors to give a pain free, but not totally bbs shave. some of them are very frustrating. lately i've been using a King Cutter a lot, and i have to wonder if i'm still coasting on the edge dylan put on it, but that was almost three years ago. the other day i tried honing a Bengall and the stabilizers got in the way. i didn't even try to shave with it. i'll try again.

I hone because I like to be self sufficient also, I've saved a lot of trial and error with Lynn's videos. I'm a user, not a collector or planning to do this professionally. So I enjoy the learning and achieving results. Well I used to hone woodcut gouges mainly with arkansas stones, (for wood engraving, I studied art) so I had some familiarity with hones. But this is another game.
Arise, awake, and learn by approaching the exalted ones,
for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable,
and hard to go by, say the wise. Katha Upanishad – 1.3.14

I can definitely relate to this. There's a feeling of satisfaction shaving with a blade you've honed, or even restored yourself. For me, sending a razor out to be honed was never an option. Originally Posted by Birnando

Conclusion formed by looking at the results...
People that read the "Honing Forum" on SRP and answer Honing Polls, tend to Hone their own razors

Plus I didn't want to place the poll in the wrong section!
It's interesting to know just how many people hone their razors!gssixgun likes this.

I must confess that although I do my own honing I do have one razor out that someone else is honing and I'd like to trade edges so to speak with some of the other Canadians. I can't have all the hones to try all the edges, however there are ways of trying the edges they produce.
