Bluto honing method
I'd like to re-introduce to the shaving community a honing method I call the Bluto method. This is the method used by Bluto, from Popeye, to hone his razors.
You can watch the Bluto method demonstrated by Bluto himself here, YouTube - Popeye Clean Shaven Man
You can jump straight to the honing at 02:30
And here you can see for yourself a razor honed with this method. This is a Wade & Butcher Celebrated Damascus Steel Razor. You can see the quality of the edge.
Of course I'm joking.
On a serious note, I bought this one for the horn scales. But I'm looking forward to the challenge of the restoration. One tiny bug bight, very little rust, no pitting. The only problem is a few small chips in the edge.

I love those old cartoons, it takes me right back to being a kid and watching them all on TV!

Anyone ever tried the thing with the tongue? This is the first time i see this (or hear of it). I was too terrified to try it on my own…

God no, I wouldnt do that unless you particularly like the forked tongue look..!
Stick to the usual tests like TNT, TPT and so on.

That´s pretty much what I thought. But still, I was like "He is doing this for a reason…" I mean, those cartoonists wouldn´t invent new fake edge testing methods, would they?Originally Posted by Stubear

I didn't realize I've been doing this wrong. Apparently eating a can a spinach gives you a BBS

Those little chips should buff right out. Ask any Ebay seller.
