Thread: Old Razors vs. New Razors

Nice read. I empathize with your thoughts and feelings. I have been using SR's for nigh on 40 years. All those years, up into 2016 when I stumbled onto this site I was completely illiterate to SR's, and still am. Since being here I have improved my honing skills and restoration skills. The W&B I own, blade only as scales were trash, I have been working of getting it sharp, hasn't been easy. I have some deer horn I would like to manipulate to make scales for the W&B blade. I just need to discover how best to sharpen this thing. The cutting edge is straight as an arrow as if it had never been sharpened before and yet I have a rough time getting this thing to the proper cutting edge. I know, I know, send it off and have it done. Nah! Can't do that. Wanna do it myself. Stubborn ol goat. Yep. Thas me'es. I will get it. I am getting inspired to go get it and start. I am thinking start with 1000 Norton water stone. Been using nothing but 4000 and 8000. Oh well. I'll shut my yap an say guh da.
