You only live once.
You're SR Shavin Would be a Lot Cheaper if Learned to Hone them..

Not necessarily @billy. How much is a good set of hones to buy from scratch? Then you have to learn and really you need someone experienced to learn from. You tube is OK but you can only learn so much from a video mate. If you ever take on an apprentice let me know.

I have just sent my two Kamisori off to Pugh the special one to have a light honing, sure I could learn how to do this myself but with such expensive razors I would rather let an expert in his field do the work and I'm sure they will be sharper than they have ever been once J has worked his magic on them.
Its Very Clear to Me After Honing a Lot of Vintage SRs that the Average Guy in the Street Even in the Straight Razor Days of the By Gone Era Were Not that Proficient at Honing SRs by the Amout of Excessive Hone Wear on them & Bad Bevel Setting..Also..A Lot of Photos from that Era Show a Huge Proportion of Men with Beards or Partial Beards..They Obviously Weren't that Proficient with SRs..
These Guys Would have Had Plenty of Opportunities to Learn as Well from Elders or Other People..

Yeah..Well..You are Younger than Me & I Don't Remember the SR Era..

It's not healthy at all. You've been doing this for four months you said? You need to learn to do your own honing. 118 razors being sent to be honed is just wasting money that could be spent on new razors, or hones, or strops.View attachment 24048 View attachment 24049 View attachment 24050 Ok
So who came up with the bright idea that Straight Razor Wet Saving was cheaper in the long term than disposables, I think it was a straight Razor Restorer or Honer, Simples.
Can this be healthy after 4 short months. The picture is hiding the draw with 19 SR's and then the box of wrapped 98 SR's going to my Honer or the 20 he already has and no i'm not lying. Best is I still can't have a shave without slicing my face but boy I'm having FUN.
Yeah..Well..You are Younger than Me & I Don't Remember the SR Era..
