    Default Beginners, The 1k shave . . .

    Hi guys,
    How many times have you seen a beginner honing question and instantly knew (assumed) that it was a bevel issue. "Been on the hones for x amount of hrs and still wont shave" ect
    Last week I read a post where some of our honing pros discussed it being possible to get a decent shave off a 1k stone with proper stropping (hope I wasnt being taken for a ride here lol)
    Learning to shave off a 1k (if actually possible) would be incredibly valuable for a beginner honer, since 90%(?) Of the sharpening occurs at the 1k (wicked sharp bevel) before progressing!

    So, without going full JAnorton (or jumping on the experiment bandwagon ), lets experiment with only a 1k, newspaper, crox , pastes ect.

    All we need are some volunteers , especially those new at honing

    All are welcome, Im headed to try now, Ill post my results in a few hours.
    Good luck!
