I learned watching Gssixgun's vids and my local friends helped me refine my skills and introduced me to different hones. You can always count on your friends to help you get RAD, HAD, SAD, and other wallet sucking addictions :<0)

Peres 202 razor that needs a new scale and honing and some restoring due to the tarnishing and lil rust but I wanna keep the etching anybody that you guys can recommended that's not going to charge over a hundred am just looking for a pearl scale to be added I know its alot to ask for but I am working with a budget thats not going to get me in trouble with my girl lol

If you want some honing information & "how to", there's some in Lynn's YouTube video's I believe but here is gssixgun's YouTube video's too. Just scroll down where it says "load more" & click on it & you'll see 'em. He shows honing with the different brands of stones:

Good luck!

Welcome Sir.
