    Default Honing At Its Worst

    I thought I had seen bad honing. The guy who hones his cheap razors as if he's running a lapping plate back and forth seemed to have set the bar pretty low but I have found a new bottom. I give you, a guy with a beard teaching all how to hone...

    Thanks Ron I was needing a laugh today, so many self roses see razor hone guys today, and he does this with a 300/800 carborundon stone that he probably uses on his ax. And yes the man doesn't even trim his beard yet he's who I would imitate? Not likely. I didn't even get to the stropping. Tc

    Ron is right - TC you need to go back and watch the stropping. It's amazingly bad - so worth the whole video! You know - that whole barber shoppe thing... classic.
