Thread: Srd honing? Converting finished edges

Question 1: what does srd use for honing the razors they sell and do they use tape? Do the prestrop?

Question2
U have about 30 razors that were honed on lapping film and wanting a coticule or jnat edge on them should I continue killing the edge then going back to bevel set or just refinish them on the natural stones...

I certainly don't speak for SRD, but you will probably find that most honemeisters have a variety of stones, and select the one or ones that are appropriate to a particular razor. There is no one size fits all answer to the which hone to use questions.

EDIT: forgot to add that if you have questions about SRD, shoot them an email or give them a call. They have excellent service and are willing to answer customers' questions.

I do the same but it doesn't answer the question ...

Not sure about what stones, but I had a razor honed by SRD and I asked for no tape to be used and no tape was used. If you want your razor honed with or without tape I think all you have to do is ask. The costumer service is excellent.

I'm talking about the razors purchased on the site... I think I'll shoot them an email

Probably the best idea...get it straight from the horses mouth.

This would be a good idea. Otherwise it looks like you are trolling here.

Thanks.
