Thanked: 14 hours on 3k, and still not enough
Hi everyone
I really hope to get some help with my honing.
I bought a brand new razor (Puma from Solingen) and a Japanese water stone grit 3000/8000 (apparently you cannot buy grit 4000/8000 here in Denmark).
I've watched several videos on youtube about honing, and read the guides here on SRP. I've spent 4 evenings on the 3k (almost 4 hours in total), but I still can't get that bevel made.
Sometimes part of the edge has seemed ready for the next step, but then after some more honing the whole edge is dull again. I try not to put any pressure on the blade while honing.
Has anyone got a suggestion about what to do, cause I'm getting at bit desperate?
Kindly, Emil
