Thread: if you had to do it all over again...

what hone(s), razor, strop, soap, etc

I would have got my chosera 600 and 1k when I got my Norton 4/8.

What you really mean is "if I knew then what I know now"

I think most would make very different decisions. But, it's a learning process and you learn by doing and struggling. If someone gave you a pill and it instantly turned you into the best all around razor restorer in the world just think about what you wouldn't know.

Wow when you put it that way all my struggles aren't for not !! Thanks!!

I would have bought a seven day set vs the piecemeal collection that I have now - though they are great, I like uniform. To this day I still envision picking out seven, getting them engraved and re-scaled in a matching set.

It's a long road to wisdom, and I for one am enjoying the ride.

Yeah I know what you mean. While I don't have a lot period, sometimes I'm tempted just to keep my 4 day set of wedges, maybe get a set of hollows and call it good. But the lure is just too strong sometimes.

If I had it to do over again, I'd do it over again. It was fun the first time!

I would have gotten only 2 stones... all that one needs: a Norton 4/8K and a Nani 12K.

I like the arko soap, my dovo best quality although I enjoy the two vintage blades

I'd have started sooner when the prices were lower. The only other regret is when I started the first time I'd have stuck through it and not went with the mainstream as much as I did.
