Honing help needed Pittsburgh PA
Dear SRP community. I am new to straight razor shaving. I have gotten down shaving pretty well, and am beginning to be able to shave with proper technique. I had my first razor professionally honed and I love it. I know what a sharp razor is like. I have since bought two razors, one of which from an antique store. It's a Clearcut with a good looking edge. I also have a Frictionite 00 barber hone, so I used that to try my hand at honing a razor I got for a steal. I honed and honed and stropped and stropped and I have definitly sharpened it. It was not initially shave ready, but I was able to get it to be able to shave. However, it doesn't seem as sharp as my main professionally honed razor no matter what I did. Is there anyone in the western Pa, Pittsburgh area that is willing and able to teach me how to hone. I am eager and willing to learn. Also, is there anyone that may be able to tell me in writing some tips I can use to improve my razor to make it sharper? It just doesn't stop pulling no matter what I do. Thank you
