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?
