Thanked: 0Hi all,
I too am new to SR shaving and have started to learn how to hone. I first bought a Norton 4/8 and have practiced on this, have since got ambitious and bought a 1/3 to practice bevel setting, the thing I found was it can be addictive and I had to put them down for fear of habitual bad edges. I have since taken deep breaths and relaxed and learnt to become 'at one with the hone' and this has worked quite well, it does take a lot of practice and patience, but I have found that after all the research from books and the net you will find your own style and be comfortable with it. I use a brand new shave ready Boker as my benchmark and have bought many a vintage razor from e-bay to practice with. I wish you luck and happy honing
