Thread: New member - challenged honing

Thanks for those quick responses.

I'm going to try to make a run out to Woodcraft today for a King 4000 grit waterstone - I don't want to have to mail order and wait.

I should hopefully also be receiving an Illinois 835 strop today as well.

If I'm lucky I should be honing again tonight. I went back to the Gem JR today to give my chin some time to recover from yesterday's handiwork. I am really finding dealing with my chin a challenge. My improperly sharpened razor cannot be helping that either. Learning to shave with my left hand as well as my right is also something of an adventure.

Called Woodcraft and they don't have it. I mail ordered it. I guess that will give my chin a week to heal before I get back to it again. Darn that's too bad.
