    I tried telling a razor she was done once and boy did she bite in the most unpleasant way. That was back when I first started honing. TELLING your razor what to do is like telling your wife what to do with out saying please, thank you or giving her flowers after.

    So do the flowers work on Razors?
    I just traded in the stones for six pack of black and tan, and a shave I will have to share for the good, the bad, or the ugly.
