Thread: How long does it take you to hone a razor.

The Time for Honing depend on various Things, how hard is the Steel, what Setup do you use, how good you practise is,
so i cant say a concrete time i need.
For Example, with my Setup (Naniwa Super Stone 800, some fast Vintage Coticule´s, a very fine and slow old Thuringian and
(if needed) a La Lune for Finish) a 326 Herder or a Red Imp 133 will need around 30-45 Minutes, some old and very hard french Wedge Razor take me normally more time, around one hour and more.

Being an inexperienced honer, I would say at least an hour maybe more. The bulk of that time would be trying to set the bevel.

I feel like half my time is spent wiping and checking and taping and re-taping.

That and getting around the wall sometimes...

heck that's what keeps it interesting.
