So I experimented with the pyramid honing method last night, on three razors- the Dubl Duck, the Weis, and the Engels. All three seem to be very sharp now, and LOOK good. I am going to strop them...

So I still plan on honing tonight after work, but figured I'd update that I purchased a finishing stone. Been looking at getting a Naniwa 12k further down the road after I somewhat-master the 8k edge...

Update! I am getting there! I shaved with both the John Weis C.S.P.K Trademark razor and the Dubl Duck razor this morning. Did half of my face with one, the other half with the other. The Weis is I'd...

Whew, glad we got that worked out, haha.

Yes, I always be sure to wipe the blade off before moving to the next grit. Heck, I have been even wiping the blade when switching between circles and...

Uh oh, conflicting info... Haha. Makes sense that it would leave black marks regardless.

In other news, I honed the Dubl Duck and John Weis tonight. I used more pressure on the 4k, and seemed to...

Sorry for the double post but it wouldn't let me quote your post as well...



Exactly why I set down the W&B and went with the Dubl Duck! I have a couple others I recently obtained that I may...

Thanks for the link. I will save it and check it out once I've gotten some practice on other razors first.



Your words are both discouraging and challenging at the same time, haha. You're...

I have just the 4k/8k, and set the bevel on the 4k. I definitely need to revisit it, though. I heard you can set bevels on the 4k, so I opted not to get the 1k, at least not right now. Funds were...

Awesome, thanks for the fast reply, Glen! I have looked through the thread but it was hard to find good posts where folks actually described their process and what worked for them. I will look...

Figured I'd make a thread about my journey into honing. I just had my Norton 4000/8000 arrive, along with my DMT 325. I lapped both sides, following Glen's video. That went without problems. The...
