Thanked: 286I honed my 6/8 Sheffield steel full Hollow today. Set the edge on the 3 k chosera . Used the 5 k and finished with literally 35 strokes on the 8k Naniwa. The amount of strokes on the 8 k can vary but that’s what I start out with.
Showerd lathered up as usual with tabac soap . Stropped 8k edge and shaved left cheek the 8k edge shaved we’ll enough for me.
I quickly gave the razor 12 strokes on the 12 k.
Stropped again and continued to shave and there was an improvement.
I then added just 8 more strokes on the 12 k Naniwa finished the shave .
There is no doubt it was as smooth as I like and a very impressive shave.
I have the 20 kG and could do five to ten strokes but I really don’t feel the need to as I am happy at the 12 k
I think the trick is not to over do it and make sure the 8 k level is cutting the stubble nicely and then add the 12 k
