I am currently trying to decide on my first straight razor and I have been wondering about honing. I have a coworker who hand sharpens pocket knives and kitchen knives to a razors edge and was curious if it is the same process for a straight razor so that he could do all my honing.
I think me having a background in sharpening knives HURT my ability to sharpen razors.
...SNIP...if anything I think me having a background in sharpening knives HURT my ability to sharpen razors.
I think the Dovo 5/8 you sharpened for me would beg to differ.
As would my LE Hammer.
In fact, I need to get that little jewel out.
