Thread: Should I just give up

If you are frustrated by honing just put it aside for a bit, relax, rethink it and give it a go when you are in a relaxed mood. I have only been honing a short while and learned by reading on forums and glancing at a couple of vids. There are no mentors less than 400 miles from me so that was not an option. The two biggest things that I had to learn were to stay on the bevel setter till it was really truly set (you can't polish a turd) and each razor is slightly different needing different treatment.

Lots of frustrations in the learning curve to get by and plenty of redoes but we are getting there. It just takes time.
