Well I did it.

I honed my razor today and had a very nice shave with it. Had to reset the bevel as the bevel in the middle was gone. I read a couple of weeks ago someone else have a similar problem and thought I could go ahead and try.

I followed Lynn's 40 circle method as outlined by Jimmy and Glen detailed on http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...-problems.html.

It took me for sets before the bevel was completely set. I then just moved up the hones from 1k-16k shapton.

This was awesome that I was ale to get my razor back up to shaving.

Thanks again.

Lu

Great feeling to shave with razors you honed yourself.

Congratulations. The first one is quite an accomplishment. I hope you continue to find honing just as rewarding as you progress.

Congrats Lu. That is quite an accomplishment...many take longer to achieve what you have.

I never tire of honing and can't imagine that i ever will.

Yes it is. It's a feeling that every man should experience at least once.

Congrats Lu!

Thank you guys. I could not have done it without all of you.

It was very satisfying indeed.

I am very happy that I was able to get it done.
