And how many were used for cutting up cardboard boxes! I know I had a wedge that was way off. It was definitely sharpened with the spine off the hone. I am glad those days are BEHIND me. I don't think I will ever buy another ebay special again. Well until I see another one I really like!

A couple of weeks ago Joe Lowett sent me a Tillotson 9/8 to hone that he had restored and it took 2 and a half hours to just set the bevel, this was a razor in excellent condition. I've had eBay specials take me as long as 4 hours for the bevel set alone. Considering the extra time honing and changing tape, $5 or $6 extra is a bargain. The 15 minute complete honing session has eluded me and is, in case my unattainable, I do 6 nagura progressions at minimum.
