Is there a section here at TSD dedicated to honing? Maybe I missed or overlooked it? If not, maybe there should be? Honing is a very important part of str8 razor shaving.......... Thanks in advance!
We don't currently have a honing section, it's an important part of straight razors of course - but a lot of people don't invest in hones, or shouldn't be starting out doing it at all yet. Heck even I'm getting rid of mine because I don't have time to do it - I'd much rather just send mine off to Glen or Lynn.
I do most of my own honing but there are times when I don't have time or have a edge that just won't cooperate. Then is when I send them to Glenn or Lynn, both do excellent edges. In fact, I have a Wade & Butcher chopper on its way to Glenn for honing because, well, it wouldn't cooperate. I still feel a section would be very useful for those who do hone and have an occasional problem or even a new guy that is interested in honing. It is very helpful to have a place to pick up some hints/tips from experienced honers, via post or videos, that's how we learn. Just a thought.........
Yep! Found that after posting. That's why I stated "Maybe I missed or overlooked it", which I did. Anyway, thanks for info.
Check out Straight Razor Place as they've got the goods on honing, in fact you'll go nuts trying to absorb all of the information on the topic.
