Wasn't sure where to post this - not really a SE blade but not really a straight either....anyway, I recently won this Wilkinson Empire 7-day set. It's complete, and all the blades look clean and sharp to the naked eye. At some point I may even work up the nerve to shave with it, which led me to wonder, how would I go about honing one of these if it turns out to be a little dull? The instructions talk about stropping but no mention of honing. I have a Goodrich hone coming; would that be of use?

I share your question. I have a few sets like this, and would love to see them honed. Maybe the straight forum can help us.

Good idea - I just posted to the hones/honing straight razor subforum.

Nothing but crickets...no one knows the answer to this question?
I would also like to know...maybe one day I could get a set like this to use exclusively!
