I think I may contribute to this thread when my noobie azzz tries to hone up that rock hard steel on that Iwasaki razor....seems like really, really hard steel. Kind of shocked how heavy that razor is for a 6/8.
The little rust came off the pivot pin area easy peasy with a Feather SE blade, and it's ready to go after some light sanding tonight...anyone recommend Valium prior to honing?

It's no more difficult than any well made razor with a good bevel & you can be sure Iwasaki geometry is always good unless someone has badly honed it prior.

It may however take a bit longer than some razors

Valium, Yes. AMBIEN?!?! You do NOT want to see the sort of bevels you wake up to when honing on Ambien! Originally Posted by Phrank

You can throw a ball.
You can throw a fit.
You can even throw a bone…. But never, ever throw a hone!
