Wow! You guys were right about the Norton Hone. I've been whittlin on a Dubl Duck Gold Edge for a week with every thing I own, including a
Spyderco Double stuff and all I could get was whats best described as a bad sunburn.
Read your posts and ordered a Norton, got it today, Honed the ol DD and with some stropping on a paddle strop I bought from John C. I had a real shave!
Thanks a million.
Have you honed any other razors yet? Keep us posted on the results. Thanks. Lynn
Yes, I have done some touchup work on a Carl Schmidt 4/8 and it shaves great, as well as having used it to put fantastic edges on a couple of old Rolls Razors (they are great shavers as well).The only Razor I have been unable to make shave is an old Royal Blue 5/8 razor. I don't think It'll ever shave.
Could be why it looks like it has just been laying around for a hundred years.
Keep me posted on your progress. I have a couple of tricks you can try on the Norton.....lol. Lynn
Congrats on the honing success! The Norton really does the trick for most, and as you continue to use it, the 'feel' will become readily apparent - even for different steels and razors.
