Help with honing my straight
Hello guys i need some advice from you:
Since i live here in Mexico i suppose that you understand that is not easy for me to send my straights to a pro sharpening shop.
So here it is the thing:
I have a Boker Edelweiss straight razor thats has become dull after months of use and i would like to learn how to hone it by myself.
I have some experience in honing knives but not in honing razors that is another whole thing, isnt it?
well:
The only instruments that i have are:
1.- A Böker belgium blue stone that does not show the grit. but i believe is aroun 5,000.
2.- A Norton two sided stones 4000 and 8000 Grit.
3.- An arkansas translucent stone that does not says the Grit but i dont think is useable for this job because i bought it in a knife store.
4.- My leather strop belt (not paddle)
and thats it.
I know i can find tutorials here and in other places over the internet but it seems that always they are using diferents stones, so the question is: what can i do with this equipment i have?
Can i go far enough to give my straight a good shape or i need to buy another stone?
Please thing that i cannot get stones here in mexico as far as i know, so if i really need another stone i have tu buy it trough the internet and it takes time to be delivered to mexico.
So any ideas for me?
sincerely
Sergio
