How did it work out for you?
Those that hone razors do just that. They are not lawn mower blades or hedge clippers, they are razors. Like I said , a different animal altogether. As you learn here you will see that this comes up often enough and for the most times, doesn't work out.
I sharpened my knives to a wicked edge before I started with straights. Thought, how hard or different could it really be? Well. it took mr a bit of time before i could hone a razor to any type of quality edge. I sent razors out to some of the guys here and always got a great edge from them. Practice and time was the only thing that got me there and I'm still no where near as good at it as the guys that do it for money. I'm sure they guy had nothing but good intentions doing your razor. It's just different plain and simple from any other edge.
