Thread: Weekend Hone Fest

All of the shavers in the attached pic went onto the Nortons this weekend. Great fun, and great results. The only one that required a bevel set was the lowly Gold Dollar 200, which, ironically, came out with the keenest edge (at least according to the HHT). The Bergisher Löwe also came off of the 8000K able to silently split hairs. I'll let you know how they shave when I can try 'em out.

Used a combination of techniques I've seen on YouTube videos, including those from ToxikWaste and our moderator, gssixgun. I particularly took a shine to gssixgun's technique of using circular strokes on the 4000K to get an edge back into basic shape quickly.

If you've been contemplating learning how to hone, I encourage you to jump in and give it a try. With the video instruction available and a set of Norton combination water stones, it's really enjoyable and satisfying to learn the skill.

Cheers!
