Hello all,

I run a mobile sharpening business in CC, TX and I get a lot of folks asking if I can sharpen a straight razor. I have always turned them down of course, but I ordered a straight razor and it was pretty dull when it arrived. I have been trying to hone it using the course side of a Smith's TriHone. I can't seem to make any headway even after hours of honing.

I am using water, liberally, on the stone but there is no slurry building up and it doesn't appear to do anything to the blade. Dull as a bread knife still.

Any suggestions?

Nelson
