Thanks Richard! I know the scopes aren't a necessity to hone a razor but they sure are a nice tool to have in your arsenal to help you get the best edges you can.

Had a little bit of a frown to get out of the HESS razor but after I got that out these two razors were a joy to hone.

I'm actually using two layers of tape and I'm keeping them extra long to kind of create a handle. They are tedious but they are coming along nicely.

Honing a Wilkinson Sword 7 Day Set is definitely a different animal than a traditional straight but it's coming out pretty good. I'm anxious to see how it shaves

[QUOTE=celticcrusader;1624460]Just starting to find the time to fit in a few of my own razors for a light touch up in fact I'm going to give this beautiful Iwasaki half hollow 7/8 a run out on...

I refreshed 3 different razors made from 3 different steels yesterday and all gave me similar "visual" results. I completely agree that scope pics are good but the shave test is king. In this case...

Hone Of The Day


Testing out a new Japanese natural today. This is an Ozuku Asagi I just got and so far the initial results look pretty good.
