I am officially finished with Frederick Reynolds razors. For good. I will never hone another one. I hate them.
I've had a bunch that have really really hard steel. Couple that with the fact that I tend to buy wedges and you have yourself a serious honing nightmare. Every one has taken at least three times as long as I thought it would take.
I'd thought I'd sworn off Reynolds once before, but then I caved and bought one more. Never again.
I officially swear off honing Frederick Reynolds razors for ever!
