    Welcome. Are you honing your own edge. What hones are you using on your kitchen knives.

    Avenolpey, yes I hone and sharpen my razors and my knives. For western/european knives I use Shapton Glass. For my Japanese knives, JNats. For my razors, I use a 1K synthetic (or less if needed) to set bevels then switch to JNats, specifically, Tajima, Meara, Yaginosima, Ohira Suita, Nakayama - then strop on Roo with .1 CBN. For my JKnives, I typically stop at the Meara or Yaginoshima depending on the edge I desire.

    Thank you all for your warm welcome, I look forward to participating with you.

    Hola,
    I am new here as well. Also was directed to straight razors because of interest in kitchen knife honing.

    Welcome Mark. You are in good company.
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one
