    i hope some MOD's will remove this post to honing . in there it will get more attention.
    Basically honing is same until you have some smile etc or true wedge which you will end up taping the spine.
    good luck

    Sorry, I have dial up so the video won't do me any good, takes 2 hours to download a couple of minutes of video!! My fault.

    Thank you though, I ask around to see if I know any one with high speed to copy and send it to me, that mught work.

    Thanks again, tinkersd

    Have you ever read Lynn Abrams on honing in the SRP Wiki here ? There are a number of specific tips that Lynn gives on honing a wedge within the article. Not sure what your setup is but if it lends itself to pyramid honing there are two tutorials on that in the Wiki. Also the rolling x if your wedge has a radical smile or a warped spine.

    Some guys do better with tape on the spine on wedges, some even use three layers. Honing a wedge is like honing anything else only moreso since you have more steel to remove to get to the V you're looking for.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    There is also a video tutorial from Mr Jaques about honing his razors, some of which are quite 'wedgey' in grind:

    I also have a slow dial-up but I have downloaded many videos at SRP. Start your download and the go mow the lawn, wash the Corvette or go flirt with the neighbor -lady while it downloads.

    As someone already suggested, if it is a full wedge, add some tape and start honing.

    Dial-up is a pita but ........... just do it.

    OOOPS! Pass the styptic please.
