I do not find it to be very easy to hone a well working razor edge, despite of all things that are avaleble to buy like synthetic stones in grit progression, flattening plates, paste and internet available.
So I wonder how they did in the past, around 1800 - 1940.
Did they go to a specialisted on honing or the barber to have the razor honed.
Anyone have relatives that straight razor shaved let say in the early 1900-t and told you about it?
We can buy synthetic stone for progresion, we have flatteining plates, diamant paste, youtube and forum to find inf
ormation, usb-microscope.... Still it is a challange.
