I have the Norton stone 1000 / 4000 grid. I was 'sort of able to hone' the Russian razors.
The green one was easirer but the black one i had some trouble. The way it was honed before seemed to be on a wheel, so when i honed it on norton stone in the middle, there is a taller edge. It shaves ok tough.
I wanted to ask... I am using this old belt for strop (by now it has plenty of cuts). Is there a benefit of using narrow strop versus wide ones where blades fit completely?
