pjgh said:Yes, assuming you have a clean, rust-free and un-nicked blade, wet the hone and gently hone it. Try to avoid a slapping action which will inevitably occur - you can crack the hone. After, get a little oil into the strop to bring that back up to life and strop the blade. At a push, a moisturiser will do - leather is just dry skin. Strop the blade ... lots. This is where the slapping action will come in.
... and shave with it. See how you go.
