Thread: Will a rolling X be enough on this razor?

Keep in mind that Bread knifing a blade is going to mean HOURS of honing to get the bevel back. It should be used as a last resort. It is effective, but time and patience consuming.

My suggestion is that if you are going to get into honing beyond just maintaining your rotation put that one in a drawer and forget about it and work on other razors until you are very comfortable with your skill level.

OTOH, if your honing in the future is going to be limited to maintenance send that one out to Glen and have an expert work on it. I agree with sicboater that if you breadknife it you will have a lot of work to get the edge back. Unfortunately I don't see an alternative.

I think a lot depends on what you have to tackle it with. It's really not too bad looking. Truing up the radius with some on edge stoning (Bk_ing_) then resetting the bevel on diamond or ceramic is not so much of a chore imho.
