Thread: What's your toughest razor to maintain?

In my very humble opinion the difficulty of honing is directly proportionate to the prior users honing ability

I think that Lynn makes a valid point when he talks about honing wedges, he has always said first you have to work around all the previous bevels down to a new even one....

I have honed a couple of old heavy wedges that had little to no hone wear and they were almost as easy as any hollow ground razor...

The easiest razors to hone and maintain IMHO are undamaged DD's, sorry but consistency counts in my book

I would say the closer to NOS or New the razor is, the easier it will be to hone and maintain.. Since you will be setting the bevel and maintaining that same bevel....

OK thats 2 pennies worth


Hmmmmmm just re-read my own post, and boy can you tell I hone a ton of restored razors hehehe add that grain of salt to my opinion
