Hello from the land of Feather and Kai
Hello SRP members,
I actually joined a while back but then life got in the way and I never got onto here like I wanted to.
Anyway, I'm really a new member, living in Japan.
I shave with various DEs and SEs, and occasionally with disposable blade straights, one Feather, one Kai, and one CJB. I also own a couple of Western style straights and one Henkotsu Japanese style straight.
I have a quarter Norton hone set and a Chinese 12K stone. On a couple of occasions I've tried to hone my razors but with no luck. I think the sheet amount of information, and the fact that everyone seems to do things slightly differently from the next guy is somewhat overwhelming, so my razors are just sitting unloved in some drawers! Hopefully I can pick up some useful information on here and maybe get some mentoring advice, made as simple as possibly because I never was very good at manual tasks!
Thanks for reading guys, I look forward to getting to know you better on here!

None are shaveable now, no. The hones are a quarter of the size of the normal Norton set. It includes a 220/1000 stone and a 4000/8000 stone.

Ok, thanks Minnebrew. I don't think there's anyone near me based on the list of Japan members so I guess I'll just have to keep muddling on with it!
