Bought a Norton 4k/8K but I'm too scared to use it...
So I bought a Norton 4k/8k hone. I have been straight shaving for 4-5 months with a professionally honed razor. One of my blades needs a honing - just a touch up. It's not a restore or anything. I lapped the hone and I even sat down to do it but I just couldn't bring my blade to the stone! I'm more nervous about honing than I ever was shaving! I have watched Lynn's video. Is this the right way to start for the first time?
I need some support here...
(wasn't sure if this thread was better in the Beginner's forum or the Honing forum so sorry if I chose wrong...)
