I’ll describe it for you then. It’s a Pakistani street barber shaving a little boy’s head. He strops his razor on a tiny maybe 1” x 3” stone then...
Same guy stropping on a guy’s head LOL https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRTNvbQ2/
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRTF1DJg/ I would call this guy’s technique quirky and his rock bumpy but he seems to be getting the job done.
Do you go far enough back to remember a content creator named Big John Hallock? He was a lovably quirky guy who sure did love his Rolls Razors. I...
I’m sorry that you feel that way. I think talking about shaving and honing techniques and gear selection choices is great fun. I was enjoying...
I really enjoy DE shaving. I shave exclusively with a DE at the moment. I suppose now that I’m getting the honing itch again I will probably start...
I did the same sort of thing one time a long time ago although on a much lower level. There was a knife maker named Murray Carter who inserted...
Bad mouthed? Really? I said his honing method was quirky and gimmicky. You said he was condescending and narcissistic. What you said about him...

You’re doing some serious mental gymnastics now in an effort to not be wrong. Since you opened that door let me go ahead and step through too....
That’s what I took away from the whole “that’s the way razors were always intended to be honed” convo complete with the vintage Norton Pike...

Zippity doo dah It’s another flavor-of-the-week honing fad where somebody starts something then begins attracting a little band of groupies who...
What have pipe forum people got against corn cob pipes and store bought tobacco blends? Are they not elite enough? Sadly elitism is a big part of...
Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t care to know everything about convex honing because it’s a thing that I would never do. I read a good part of...
I guess so but why would we want to? I love talking about honing almost as much as honing.
I don’t doubt that there are a FEW historical references of people doing it. I’m just saying they were whackadoodle back then too.
Look, I don’t care if someone wants to drag their razor up a monkey’s butt and call that honing. If it suits them it suits me. However, let’s not...
I got totally saturated with honing about 6-8 years ago and gave it up. I am just now peeking back into the community to see what the current...
As I said I prepped mine to be more gentle than that. Mine is effectively around 800ish grit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
