I have two (2) elementary honing questions, please?
(1) I have an 8k hone that I purchased recently. I wanted to practice putting an edge on a gold dollar. progress has been minimal. Is this because the 8k hone is for "polishing"?
(2) Surfing the web I see much less available on hones than I do straights. Is it possible that SR lovers are more attached to their hones than they are to their razors?
thanks!
The gold dollar was simply a cheap straight I bought on ebay for practice.
I believe the consensus of opinion is that they are pretty near or slightly in the "do not buy" category. As far as how sharp it is, well, I'm still in the "learning my experience" stage of development.
