Can't get a good edge on a ERN 4720
Hello Gentlemen: (1st post)
I acquired an older Ern 4720 from a Guy I work with, He just gave it to me, said his father in Law gave it to him years ago. The Guy I work with said he has no use for it so he gave it to me. It had a few minor nicks in the blade which I got down with a 220 then moved to a 1000. The problem is I think the spine is warn too far (not from me it was already like that) for a good cutting edge, However I am a beginner and this is my first Straight Razor.
Should I just send the razor out to be professionally honed? or get some quality stones and try it my self since the razor was free?
Also does anyone know of a shop that deals with straight razors or sells good honing stones in the Greater Rochester,NY area?? I'd rather support the local guy If possible. My budget is fairly light, with 4 kids and an enormous grocery bill :-)
Any input would greatly be appreciated.
