Thanked: 0Honing a Wedge
Today while honing a wedge I won on eBay, I noticed after about 15 minutes I didn't even have enough of an edge to remove arm hair. After lifting the spine just barely off the stones, I was able to get a very good edge in just a few minutes.
I don't use tape when I hone, but I would guess that if I did for this razor, it would improve the edge even more.
My question is: Is this a common issue for honing wedges, or am I doing something wrong? I know everyone will tell me that whatever works for me is fine, which is part of what I love about this place, but I am curious if what I am doing probably isn't the best way. Is this not giving me the finest shave possible? Is this the best for the long-term health of my razor?
Thanks,
John
