Thread: using a "razor stone" and powered strop for honing

I think powered leather belts or wheels are common in knife sharpening but not for razors. Maybe you're on to something new.

Nice setup. I see the timing belt and gear wheel. Is the motor behind the unit. What are you using for power, how may hP. etc....
