I know and feel your pain....the INOX blades take a lot of time and effort to hone; but once you have a sharp edge it last for a long time. Take for example my Wacker INOX 6/8. I had to do two separate honing sessions to get it sharp. Unlike you, I pyramid hone starting with a 3K Naniwa, then the 8K and finishing on the 10K. HOG

Hey Gerald...Do you think you could post a photo of that trusty Merkur 37C Slant DE razor of yours--along with the rest of your shaving kit sometime in your SOTD post? I'd be curious to see it. I'm sure that other SRP members would be interested too. Just a thought... Originally Posted by blueman
