I'll take that into consideration.

I bet you're not as stoked as me!!! [emoji106]

Gotta say I love that everyone has a flexible opinion.

I dig the "this is what worked for me so give it a whirl and adjust to your needs" mentality mos gents have on here.

Well...

- Yes, I have gone to my c12k and messed up my edge
- No, I have never proceeded with my messed up edge anyway and gone "hog wild" with a pasted strop

Interesting. But hey, if it...

Before I do my longer post just wanted some feed back.

I honed my razors again with my new set up.

After my c12k my edges were damn near dull. I couldn't understand it. I was second guessing...

Update. I got both my c12k and barbers hone today. So tomorrow I will be honing again. Will take notes an update

I will note my progressions once I have the new additions to my kit. May need another project razor [emoji57] to document how to achieve my results.

I may very well do that. What do you think do a "My Kit" type post in the beginners section? Might hold off til I'm certain the barbers hone and ch12k do the trick.

And I've been shaving off my red imp that I restored and honed on my 6k with good almost great results. Check check out my post on it. I'd love feedback

+1 for the encouragement.

With that said my gear in total is less than one nani 12k. Well not quite but all in including the ch_12k I'm at 150$ and that's. Strop, bowl, Brush, red imp, dubl duck,...

I haven't bought the 8k yet. Probably won't now that I took my HAD meds. I'll know soon enough.

But damn if it doesn't give dfs'. I hate the weight of it though.

Lmao! Not trying to disregard good council. I am mainly trying to get reassurance that I'm not a complete idiot.

Here's my plan. I just won a boss barber hone for 15.50 with shipping. I have a king 1k/6k already. I am getting the ch12k from woodcraft on Tuesday(live about 25 miles from a retail location). And...

Well not gonna argue that logic. So a arbor hone won't get me in the ball park of a good 12k

Hopefully I get a reply in next hour or so. Does anyone know much about Boss barber hones? I'm in a "negotiation" for one an wanted to get some expert insight.

OK. Here's what happened. I have a full hollow and a wedge. Well near wedge anyways. I had to hone the full hollow because I breadknifed a chip out of it. And the wedge I wanted to improve on. Using...

Good tip. Tomorrow is the day to hone. I'll be sure to post results after honing and shaving.

Lol. Guess I'll give it a shot and word case scenario send it out.

Damn was really hoping I had what I needed. I'm broke as a joke. May have to go back to the shavette for a few weeks [emoji16][emoji17]

Yes I thought so too maybe someone will post a 12k in the classifieds

So I have two straights that I'm gonna hone tomorrow. One if which I honed once but feel I can do better and the other one I had to bread knife a chip out of.

I have a 1k/6k water stone a balsa...
