WHAT!!!!! 6 MONTHS!!!! That's WAY too much. I'm a rollerblader and we produce our own video's by the TON. Seriously, a simple video with no heavy effects or editing (like in the wonderfull world of sports where even a 10th of a second is important) could be done in a day easily. If you want something slick maybe 2 days or so.

Brian Donofrio did an excellent video or two on honing as well as on restoration. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find where they are on this site. Maybe someone can help.

Time to call on the experience of true honemeisters! A somewhat generic question, I'm just looking for a direction, not a specific "aha" that's what I needed thing.

You have a razor, nice and sharp, and after numerous shaves, you notice it is beginning to pull a bit, and the shave is not as comfortable as it once was. .50 pasted flatbed strop just doesn't turn the trick anymore. Using a Norton 4/8k, do you go with a full pyramid, or maybe an abbreviated version, like 1/3,1/3,1/5, 1?

Aww maaan.. Nenad and I were about to start posting in Serbian In any case I'm looking forward to the video, b/c I'm in serious need of assistance. Getting some decent shaves but they leave my face HURTING lol.

I did the amateur video on shaving and it was crazy trying to get it up on the web initially. This one is covering everything from razors to stropping to honing and shaving. Lot's of editing......lol. Lynn

I see. Well if you need a hand. Let me know.
