Completed my first successful honing
Completed my first successful honing the other day on this Ontario Cutlery razor I picked up last month.
It's a good shaver and I need to refine it just a bit more so that it shaves even better.
I used the Norton 4/8k stones on it and am fairly pleased for a first attempt.
Any ideas as to how old this razor may be?

Congrats on the honing, that razor was probably made around 1915-1925, keep up the good work!

I hate to say something like: One Robin a Spring does not make. Or something... I think that you'll find each razor that you do different. Some you'll just won't be able to do anything with and some will only need a little paste.
It's a great feeling when a plan comes together!
