Hey guys I was hoping that someone on here might be able to help me out a little bit, I thought I was doing a good job keeping an edge on my razors with a bbw, c12k and strop. this was until I recently paid to have a really blunt razor professionally honed.

Now I realise that I am not getting an edge no where near that of a professionally honed blade and was hoping that someone could help me out, I'd be really interested if there is someone in the uk, south Wales / Cardiff area that could give me some direction and if possible, maybe for the cost of some beer money sit me down and tell me where I am going wrong?

I've been reading a lot on honing and practicing my techniques but for the life of me since I had this blade back I'm a little dissapointed that I seem to be no where near the ability to keep a blade sharp, i know that honing is a skill learnt over time and there is no quick solution but some general points on what I maybe doing wrong would really help me out,


Thanks guys.

Kris
