First time i hone my razor.
Hi,
Many says: "almost everything has a first time to do/happens in our lifes". (it's one popular saying in my country)
After i readed a thread from Lynn (http://straightrazorpalace.com/begin...rt-honing.html) i felt little bit of courrage to try to hone my razor for the first time. (it was very dull)
Today i took the challenge.
After a lot of thinking on what should i do, i decided to do this system:
One combo stone 3000/8000
One stone 12000
Strop Mountain Mike.
5 passes on 3000.
10 passes on 8000.
15 passes on 12000.
30 passes on linen side.
50 passes on leather side.
I hade to make this system two times to get the razor to start to shave again. It took hairs from my arm and from my belly. I try to shave and on my cheeks was ok but on my neck no. It's not 100% shave ready yet, but i've lost the fear to make mistakes on my first honing attempt.
I'll keep going on this trip now!!!
Thanks Lynn!!!
See you all... Flávio.
