Hello all,
I had two straight razors "professionally" honed. (note the quotation marks)
They didn't stay sharp long, so I just tried using a 4000/8000 Norton water stone. I noticed that with both razors and on both grits, that it left a black smear on the stones. Something I'm doing wrong, or is this normal? Should I be starting off with a coarser grit then 4000?
I realize this has probarly been asked before and I'm just not finding the thread.
Thank you in advance for the help.
