Thread: Anybody who can hone in NYC?

My pleasure Ric! From your original post I thought that maybe your razors became dull as a result of less than adequate stropping. That was definitely not the case, you do strop exceptionally well.

In case you're interested I used the following progression(s) on your razors. On the one with the chips, I went JNS 1K, Striped Iyoto, Asano Botan, Tenyjou, Mejiro on a Nakayama Kiita. Tsushima Kuro Toishi with Tsushima nagura, poured that broken down slurry back onto the Nakayama, diluted further, followed this with Koma and Wakasa Tomo. 30/60 Linen/English Bridle.

On the blonde scaled one I basically used the same progression without the JNS 1K but added Atsu after Tenyjou.

The true test is the shave, I hope you enjoy it.
