2 ?s taping and flattening
Hi Guys,
Two questions - hope you can help.
1. I have a few razors with nicks and suspect that I am up for a long night of honeing. When taping an edge what is the best tape to use? Will any tape due? Is one better because of durability?
2. My grandfather gave me a barbers stone. and the thing must have been used for a century because it was worn. I tried using my Norton flattening stone and found that it worked but it was developing a slurry - that is the flattening stone was giving way and I was getting a gray slurry. Did I just ruin my flat flattening stone?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
