Thread: My First Self-Honed Razor

Congratulations Phrank!! A 4k (although obviously can be done) is a lot of work and can be more opportunity for a mis-stroke. I think a 1K is a great idea. I remember thinking "Well I can hone a GD with all the issues now the real deal should be a walk in the park" then I found out that the older ones can have just as many issues! Still, it is worth the trouble to hone your own Sheffield and then take it to your face and get a good shave. Just something about the accomplishment. That's why I love honing whether it is a knife, tool, or razor. It is very satisfying (and addicting. shhhh)

Once again, Congratulations!!!
