Do all of you still use paper underneath the film as a last step in the process?
Do all of you still use paper underneath the film as a last step in the process? Out of lazyness I kinda stopped doing it, and I'm not sure I notice much of a difference? It also seemed to be much easier to screw up an edge by using paper sometimes...mostly because I would often not apply it properly guess...
its hard to really remember the difference from one honing to the next. Same with 0.3u, i used it on and off but stopped altogether...wasn't sure it really helped
Yeah same thing, I use a log where I note how many shaves I have on an edge, how it was finished, and how was the shave. That way I remember which ones I can use, and which to rehone.Yup, I understand that... With a growing collection, I started keeping a honing log. I use .3µ occasionally to put the icing on the cake of a razor that's been a problem child, but mostly I finish on 1µ.
If I didn't use so many different razors maybe it would be easier...
I sometimes have an off day at honing and need to redo it later on
Perish the thought! Variety is the spice of life, let your RAD run free!
I think we've all been there at some point, I know I have
where are you guys getting your kits from. every one i found doesnt have 12u in the kit. they have 15, 9, 5, 3, 1
Wow, this thread has been going forever. Let's jump it back to the front of the honing section.
I am even willing to leave my black sitting and try some film for a new razor this week after reading all of this.
