Ultimate Showdown for Newbie Honing
As a newbie interested in being able to hone my razor, I would ask you guys with experience with honing/ keeping a razor sharp, to judge an ULTIMATE :bowSHOWDOWN between
1. The Scary Sharp System
2. Norton 4000/8000
3. 4 Sided Pasted Strop from Tony
I would ask that they be rated on four categories.
Price
Ease
Effectiveness
HAD-Prevention Capability
To clarify, this is in terms of keeping a razor sharp, or putting a new edge on a razor I have screwed up through newbie stropping...not that it's ever happened...
Thanks to all of you guys!
My vote goes to the old standby
The complete Norton System can be had at $119 this includes the Norton 220/1000 the Norton 4000/8000 and the Norton lapping stone
For the $$$ I don't think it can be beat...
It will be totally effective at every aspect of honing (even those e-bay specials) You could add a high grit polishing stone AFTER you get the basics down pat.....
The great thing is so many of us use it so advice can be found easily...
As to curbing HAD :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao GOOD LUCK!!!!!
That's my Story and I'm sticking to it...
If I was going to start all over again I might looks at the complete Shapton set up but OMG $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
