Thread: 8k shave

Today I honed again with my practice razor and I guess I got to greedy with it and went with a 12k finisher. And that was a bad idea on my part as a beginner I didn't know how to use a finisher and I killed my edge after the 8k so I came to the conclusion that I'm not ready for a finisher. I really like a 8k shave and as glen says if u can enjoy a 8k shave there is no point in going any further so as of right now I'll take that advice

This is a great post.

Learning from trial and error will set an experience in your brain. Good for you. Get that 8k pushed as far as you can, then read up on the finishers. I think you should pass this on to as many people as you can.

:

I do need to soak up as muc information as I can on my c12k but for now I'll take ur advice and concentrate from the 8k

Read the JaNorton thread. You may find a few kernels of information in there!

Indeed great idea I'll go do that

Uncommon wisdom, Tyler. Bravo! The rest will come. You got a shaveable edge from an 8k on your first attempt at honing. I sure didn't. I don't know many who did. You're gonna do fine.

It might help my chances if I put more threads out there about honing. Answers I will recieve

I imagine I will be in the same boat when I start honing and will deffinatly guard myself based on what others like yourself mention...thanks

Just take your time with honing I'm still learning so be patient thats the best advice I can give u sir
