Thread: I have heeded the warnings and i still think its a good idea

I'm right there with what Trimmy said. I am not sure why you would want to learn from a razor with a reputation for bad geometry though. My thought is start with a good blade and if you kill it honing oh well. Now I'm not saying start with an expensive razor. There are nice blades that go for $50 in the classifieds all the time. Grab one, you can even ask the person selling if it is a good starter. In fact I would be willing to bet if you put an ad in the classifieds saying you were looking for a razor to learn to hone on you would find some good ones for less than that. That's my two cents.
