Thread: Honing 7 Day Set

I am still learning to hone, but I am getting better. Id like some suggestions with attacking a 7 Day Set I picked up about a month ago. The razors are 5/8 Kobar Hollow Ground. My honing set up is a King 1200, DMT 8000 and a Chinese 12k. The strop is a TM Red Latigo. Id like to know how I should attack this with the equipment I have. Thanks.

You should first try to determine what each razor needs in order to be made shave ready. maybe some need to start on a courser grit, or maybe some are already shave ready

I wouldn't go straight to hone 7 day set. if you don't know very well how to hone why to risk.start to hone couple cheap razor's and learn better then go head hone that set.
in this case if you make any mistakes it will not hurt so much.
progression is go with lower grit to higher .
example 1200,8000,chinese
but again as you can see there is a lot gap
1200----------8000
8000 needs to be brake in at first.
and then chinese
you will need to have some chro2 too.
hope i was helpful

Im going to reset the bevels just to make sure that I am starting from a clean slate.....
