The new guy from Tennessee
Hi everyone! I am new to straight razor shaving and learning new things everyday. SRP in particular has been a wonderful information source for me. What a wealth of knowledgable, helpful people. I have recently begun to hone and it is of course a big challenge for me. As absurd as it may sound to some of you who are far more experienced, I have been using a fine Arkansas and an antique bh. I recently bought a 6k King Ice Bear and to be honest I am getting horrible results with this stone. If anyone has pointers on this stone it would be greatly appreciated. I hope I am just missing something. I soak in water for a minimum of 30 mins before honing and have lapped through 3 pencil grids with a norton lapper. I keep the dwarf cleared as best I can and try to follow the technique I've seen on videos but keep coming up with a blade duller than before. All suggestions appreciated. Thank you
