I love his beautiful work and was wondering how are they to hone? Near wedge and 1/4 hollow? I don’t want pesky blades that take a long time to hone. I’m a big fan of 6/8 and 7/8 full hollow blades just to give you idea.

I’m a shaver not really a honer. The quarter hollow of his that I own has only needed stropping and one refresh so far but if it needed any true honing I’d probably send it back to Max. Sorry I’m not much help! I love Max’s edge though

Many, if not most of Max' blades are O1 Tool Steel. The edge on mine is quite durable and very easy to hone. Nothing leaves Max's shop that is not 100%! Your spine will be straight, and bevels perfectly even. Max is a perfectionist, and it shows in his work... very refreshing to see these days.

1/4s aren’t hard at all to hone, and straight forward.
I totally agree, his razors truly are functional art. I own one and have another on order.

Thanks a lot Gent’s! Appreciate your replies. I will prolly get one in the spring.
I've never owned a Max Sprecher straight but I've owned more than my fair share of customs and I've never had a problem honing any of them.
