So I would say I'm fairly new to honing but I've honed quite a bit of razors now::: even though son of them have been easier than others I have always completed ev even the more difficult ones.... I have even have had a lot of complements on my honing from a lot of people, even some that have experience in wet shaving... the last couple days I just can't get it right! I did take a small break from honing as my personal life has gone a bit hay wire and I don't know if either of those things have been the cause:..

I have tried on 4 different razors and I just can't seem to get an edge im happy with... They all go the same way, I set bevel and the edge is all chipped up so I bread knife it to clean the edge straight... Go back at it with he 1k and before I know it the edge is chipped up again... I've even tried just going on with the minimal amount of chipping as I can get... Moved on to the 1.5k 2k 5k 8k 15k and the end result will have an edge that isn't as perfect as I used to get it.... I then tried to shave with it and it wasn't very comfortable at all!

so I guess there are mutilple points to this thread... Have u guys ever tried to get on the hones and just not be able to get the edge u want? Because this just might be stress related... Or If someone had a tip to fix the issue of the chipping at the 1k... Or lastly if you have taken a break away from the hones for about 3 weeks come back and it be a mess hahaha

Thanks guys!
