Thread: Issue with honing many razors at once.

one thing ive noticed in honing more than a couple razors at once is to really watch the water on the edge and to dry the edges out between stones and which one you are working on so the edges don't rust out faster than you hone them.

so lets say you have 5 razors to put edges on. you soak your 1 k in the sink, then set the bevel on the first one, then set it aside and grab the next one and start working on it, if you don't dry the edge off completely and set it on a dry spot on the bench, then by the time you get through setting the bevel on the 5th one, soak your next stone and pick that first razor up, it could have been sitting with a wet edge for an hour, which is a lot of time that the water and air have been at work on the edge that you just created.

so the way ive been doing that is to work the razor on the current stone, hand strop a couple times to take most of the junk off the edge { stone and steel particles} then strop 10 times on a shop strop {just a piece of hemp strap from hobby lobby, but newspaper would work also} to dry the edge out, place the razor a the bench a couple feet away from the sink, then grab the next one and work through the stones that way, and it seems to be working pretty good.
