Hi all,
So i am trying to hone a beau brummel 5/8 wedge i got off of ebay.
I have two barber hones from tilly, a medium grit brown one, and a fine frictionite 24.
i have tried using both, but i can't seem to get it nearly as sharp as the full hollow boker i have from dbolger. When i strop the wedge up like crazy for a long time, i can get it to cut a hair with the hht, in maybe one place, sometimes. Do i need to just use the medium hone for something like 100 strokes ot more, and then the fine one for another 100? is that too much, because i have done quite a but of honing on both hones already.

Any ideas or tips would be appreciated. I can supply pictures if needed, though i don't know how they could help.

Thanks for your time and help!
