It's not your fault . I was walking home from the bar and using voice to text , so I'm sure it's pretty difficult to understand. The gist of what I was trying to say is that there's a lot of ways to hone a razor, it's a fairly simple task to accomplish and doesn't require a lot of specialized technique or equipment , but you can always introduce specialized technique or equipment into it . And where I think most people go wrong is confusing the advice technique and equipment that is meant for restoring a razor that has been abused with the advice technique and equipment meant for maintaining a razor or sharpening a razor that has not been abused. If someone picks up a razor that was put away sharp and simply sat for a few decades, it's going to be a relatively simple procedure to get it back to sharp. But if you pick up the razor that someone bread knifed down to a nub or has a large chip or some other serious defect , that's a whole other class of work that needs to be done . As razors tend to be fairly thin ground relative to a lot of other tools it's not especially difficult to do, but a lot of razor honers might not know what to expect if they haven't done in the past. So a lot of these technique and demonstrations and studies that people do is to establish and remind others that there are a lot of methods to accomplish what we're trying to accomplish , and not everyone needs the same tools or techniques , there's many ways to achieve a sharp razorI am having trouble understanding what you're saying here. Maybe it just too early in the day for me. I would like to understand what you mean.
Happy shaves,
