Hi! Nice video!
I noticed that you are in Milano, Italy... My brother studied there last year. I noticed the bells in the background sound. You don't happen, by any chance, to live in the Naviglio Grande, Porta Genova or Porta Ticinese areas?... I think I recognized the sound of those bells... :o
I just remembered one neat little thing! In Brera there is a Barber shop that has a lot of razors and other stuff on display on the shop window... and in Montenapoleone there is a shop (a cheap one, for sure...) that sells fine cuttlery, including razors. But you probably know all this... sorry to bug you!
Again... nice video!
if this is first honing experience i should say great job.Let me point out what i will change
1 st when you put tape please turn blade other side .leave black tape flat and bring back of the blade toward to tape will be alot easier.
2 nd know most people jumps from 4 to 8 to 4 again to 8 k side.i don't do that.i am done with 4 k side then 8 and never come back to 4k side.what happenes you haven't done with 4 k and go 8 then come back again etc
3 please when you go from 1 side to another clean blade with water.
lastly if you really done with razor don't do thumbnail test you will dull it.
overall great videa keep it up and thank you for video .
i hope this information will be helpfull
i assume your razor was a good conditon before you start to hone
It's incredible!!!!!:eek:Quote:

Very cool. We need more guys like you posting vids.
Great job! So interesting to see others techniques. Looks like a nice clean shave.
I'm inspired now to post a vid. I'll work on one this week. It'll give Blade Wielder a chance to get me back for calling him a d-bag <g>
Very cool videos. Thank you for sharing!
I agree with the other posters, very different technique! But there is no wrong technique, only what works for you. I'm always interested in seeing other shaving forms, I'll try 'em out, but no gaurantee that they'll work for me.... Thanks for sharing!

good video, others should post more
Interesting technique and from the shave looks like it's affective. The only thing I could add to what has already been said would be don't drag your blade all the way to the end of the stone. Keep your slurry on the stone and push it back and forth from end to end. That will allow you to cut down on your water usage. If you ever had to cut a new bevel on that razor you would have to do it in the tub.
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thank you. I have found both these videos very informative for a rookie like myself.
