Honing Feedback
I'd like to start a thread to discuss honing feedback during the stages of taking a razor to shaving bliss. Please comment, correct or add to...I would love to be able to coorelate feedback with a particular grit or hone but that may not be possible. I think the order, based on my very simple understanding, would be:
Does not shave 1,000-4,000
Sort of shaves, but causes irritation 4,000
Passes a thumb test ????? (I don't use these)
Shaves well but not great, no irritation 8,000
"Sucks to hone"
Passes hanging hair test
Shaves great .5 micron
Pulls when stropped on leather Barber maintenance hone
Shaves incredible Use Strop only
If these are parallel in your opinion include that, such as
Pulls when stropped on leather = Shaves incredible
Hope this makes sense to you guys, thoughts?
