My First attempt at Honing!
Hello everyone! Sorta been out of the loop around here. Need to be a bit more active!
Anyways. I have started my journey in honing! Nothing special when it comes to stones, I have a DMT 325 lapping plate, and a Naniwa 3/8k combo stone. So, onto my my first and second attempts of honing!
First Try:
Was on skype with my friend cudarunner guiding my throughout the entire process. Put 3 layers of tape on it.(Lots of hone wear) I did 40 circles on both sides on the 8k, (was just doing a touch up on my M Jung) and then 10 x-strokes on each side. Went to test shave after. It was honestly not a bad shave! A little bit scratch, but nothing worst than it already was! This was not a bad start!
Second Try:
This was on New Years Eve before a dance. I got out my stones and tried to hone my M Jung again. Did the exact same process as I just explained. Went to shave.......
WOW! It was smooth as butter! I was pleasantly surprised! It doesnt have anything on my Friodur hones by Glenn, but a very nice edge none the less.
Whatcha guys think? Not a bad start in my book!
Best wishes,
Parker
