Hello Folks,
So Im 3 shaves in with my new straight. Going well , some redness but coming along.
Question is I know most razors are not shave ready. So I feel the one I have , Thiers Issard Carbon Blade can use a little honeing. Waiting on a strop purchase to make with Mr. Miller, but in the meantime what grit stone should I start the razor on. My sharpening line up is,
220
1000
6000
8000
These are all Japanese made Stones.
I know 220 is not needed. So Can I start on the 1k. And then finish on the finer stones.
And how many passes should I make on each stone?
Thanks
