Thanked: 0Something wrong is going on
Hello !
I bought a 1961 Soviet/Russian straight razor from ebay , as well as a sharpening stone :
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...#ht_2125wt_999
The issue is , I havr been honing it for 4 hours , without it getting sharp enough . I did all the tests ( falling hair , wet thumb , shaving arm hair ) and it is not sharp enough . At one point , I tried shaving some arm hair and it did cut one . Feeling optimistic , I went and shaved half of my face , with some success . I went back to the stone , and continued sharpening . The issue now is I suspect the stone is not fine enough , or I have been doing something very wrong . Any help ? If any honemesiters in Canada (I am in Halifax , Nova Scotia) , that would hone it for me it would be greatly appreciated as well ! Thanks !
