I just didn't know if I was going to need a coarser hone first.

Taking this to a ridicules level of "yes sooner or later" you will get a sharp edge, then sure... were talking hours and hours and if the GDGD has a heel problem then days and daysLast edited by gssixgun; 03-02-2010 at 04:47 AM.

Chances are you'll have to go throught from 1k to whatever you choose to finish on. If it has issues, you may need something more coarse to grind her into shape.

Something you have to understand on these, many (better than 50%) have heel problems and shoulder problems that might actually need dremel work to even get the edge to touch the hone, many have grind problems and spine problems... Originally Posted by KyleHyde

When I say reputable that doesn't mean everyone that says "Shave Ready" either, in my eyes that means Ken and Craig....

If the blade was shave ready and just needs a touchup, you shouldn't have a problem. If it's beat up, you can still get it ready, but there's an old philosophical statement that says, "given an unlimited amount of time, all combinations of things must be possible."

Just because Glen loves the Wiki so much, here is the relevant article for your consideration: What hone(s) do I need? - Straight Razor Place Wiki.
