Hello. I bought a second hand straigt razor off e bay and am in process of getting the razor looking shiny and new. But once I've got it in really sparkling condition should I send the razor off to a honemeister ?- if anyone has used thier services please would you pass thier details to me - or should I use my Shapton 1k, 5k, 8k and 12k ceramic stones to hone the blade myself-so far Ive only honed one razor in my life and the blade was a bit harsh on my face. Finally if I hone the blade myself Ive seen Youtube video which shows tape being used on the spine . Do I need to use tape or can the honing be done without tape?Any info would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
