Thanked: 55Honing DE blades?
I know that DE blades are relatively inexpensive but I'm curious as to if it's possible to extend their life by honing?
I have an old bakelite hone for DE blades. It is flat on one side (for single blades and straight razors) and is curved on the other side (for double safety blades).
It would be interesting to play around with honing those blades but I won't do so if it's known to not work out well.
I don't have a DE razor or blades at the moment or I would try it out.
Does anyone have an old curved hone as I've described and does it actually work (well) to extend a DE blades life?
I'm thinking about getting a Gillette Super Adjustable at some point just for variety and in addition to my straight razor.
