First Time Using A Barber Hone
Well, I got my barber hone thins morning (Thanks Maxi, you're the man!)
Came home, watched gssixgun's youtube video again and grabbed a Genco that I felt was not as smooth as it should be.
10 laps using water and a small drop of dishwashing soap. I was very careful to make sure the blade was flat and used only the weight of the razor for pressure. 50 laps on the leather strop and then I tested it. The shave was definitely better than before and just a hair less smooth (excuse the pun) than my other razors.
For all of you that suggested the barber hone route, thank you. I'm a believer.
Now the question.
Will I be hurting anything if I just simply made it a routine to do those 10 laps on all my razors once a month?
