Thread: What have you honed recently?

Jr is with is for the first part of his summer vacation and we decided to spend a day at the US side of Niagara Falls, no razor stuff. Wouldn't ya know we passed an estate sale! Had to stop in. Well, at the start of the day we didn't have any new razors to buff, grind or hone. By the end of the day we did. We also hit an antique shop here and there as we passed them, some yard sales too. I thought I had this RAD under control.

By the time we headed home we had 21 razors priced between $2 and $10, one for $15 and one for $18. Between this past Thursday and Sunday we put all but three back into service. Some were just Massed, some buffed, some on the greaseless and one had a scale swap from a razor with a major chip which is not listed here. I have a group pic of the first batch that were just Massed and honed. Of the group two were previous purchases that needed to be cleaned up after we inspected the rotation last month and re-honed. Jr took individual pics of the razors after honing so if you would like to see any in particular just ask. Also included is a short vid (if the link works) of 100+ laps on a coti in 1 min 38 seconds. I don't do well when I'm trying to prove something so bare with it.
