Hi Guys,
Need some help here. I'm a new user to hones and am having some major trouble. I tried honing a Henckels Friodur 7/8 and after much time and effort I managed to get it shave ready (very nice shaver). I've tried doing the same thing with a Boker Edelweiss, and a Er Plumacher Lersch, but with no luck. I set the bevel on my Norton 1k (popping arm hairs), then go through the motions with my Norton 4k and 8k. After I finish on my 8k it won't even catch my arm hairs. I went back and re-set the bevel and tried with just the 4k and same thing, it seems like it's getting dull instead of sharp. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? It took me several tries with the Friodur before it took, and then it was only popping hairs really well after I stropped it.
Thanks
