Yeah Pal, that was you starting the slide Baby, right on down the slippery slope of HAD and RRAD how did it feel???

At least you have some friends down here at the bottom

Hey I'm strong, I can handle it. I can hold more than most.

Wait--I see a new stone posted on the classifieds…and probably ought to add some diamond paste, but I don't have a spare strop...could order one...

Honing can be very relaxing.

The more you hone, the better you will get and the more it will drive you to continue looking for that perfect edge. It really is all about the shave.

Have fun and don't dwell on any one razor too long. If one gives you twubble, put it down until tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the advice. When I started a few months back, I set aside some vintage razors with (what seemed to me) sound blades for my "honing projects." I did a couple and now have about 4 in process, in parallel. Likely not the best plan, but once I have the stone all saturated with water it seems logical to take each razor through that stone. Plus I practice using the various tests for each stone.

It's fun, and it's fun shaving with a razor I've honed. I feel like I'm reviving a bit of history.
