Thread: Why Pyramid?

I must agree with Lynn on this. It is the shave that matters. I have had razors that worked great from a hone and some that didn't. I have had a few sharpened by various "masters" some shaved great some didn't. Some needed a touchup on pastes and some simply needed to go back on the hone. I have had fairly dull razors respond well on nothing but pastes and those that even a hone seemed incapable of helping.

The pyramid, the stropping suggestions, the stone and hone advice, the grit size debates are all excellent to give guys a baseline on whixh to start but learning to adjust to each specific razor is needed. One method, one tool, one idea is not going to work for everything.

With the exception of patience . . . that has always worked well for me with honing.
