Brontosaurus and DZEC do make valid points. I guess the most important thing to keep in mind is that if you don't know how to shave with it how would you know if it is right or not? And, if you don't know what shave ready is how would you know if you were there?
I hate to keep picking on Steve but he learned to hone almost right from the start. It's important to note that determination level plays a big part. He was the most eager to learn of anyone I've ever seen.
Props out to you Steve my buddy
We all have to find our own path. If John wants to learn to hone hell figure it out. There are lots of people here to help him find his way. Trust me, it is a lot harder learning on your own knowing nothing.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

Thank you all.
I sometimes forget what the internet is and how easy it is to misunderstand someone's intentions. I also see everyone trying to help in there own way and that is great!!
I never planed on starting blind
And I look forward to asking question and getting answers on the forum.
I know this may sound odd to some but sharpening is very relaxing to me so much so that when I get stressed I pull all the kitchen knives and stones out and get lost for hours! I see no reason that honing razors can't feel the same way.
Also To me stropping is part of sharpening/Honing so I do plan on learning both.
As for learning to shave I would have though that went without saying. Every thing one sharpens has a specific task ( you don't sharpen a chisel the same way you sharpen fillet knife or a pair of scissors so to knowing how to use them will help in knowing how to sharpen them.
Thanks JohnLast edited by Audels1; 03-25-2021 at 02:06 PM.

It's all good. Sometimes we old geezers like to pontificate and expound on unrelated details just to hear ourselves talk.
