I have two sets of Wilkinson Sword Empire sets.
One is a 7 day set with a full set of blades.
The other one did not come with blades.
Fortunately for me the blades will work in either razor.
However the blades need sharpening.
I have been asking around to find out about honing these blades.
Some have said that they can not be honed.
At the time that the sets came out, Wilkinson was making replacement blades for them instead of honing.
I have honed my Rolls Razor blade by putting some electrical tape on the spine.
That turned out ok.
I was thinking about doing the same with these but I don't want to ruin the blade.
I'm not a honing master for sure.
The cost of sending them to a professional honer is out of my reach even if I could find one.
So the question is, has anyone had success in honing these blades etc.?
