Thread: Progressive Straight Razor Honing Clinic – 9 Part Video Series

Just wanted to say thanks to heavydutysg135 for making these videos. I was having a lot of trouble honing until I watched them. It all seemed hit-or-miss, but I'm convinced now that not spending enough time setting my bevel was the problem.

RESPECT. DUE.

This is a frightningly awesome tutorial and I learned LOADS from the vids.

Sadly videos 5 onwards are no longer available on youtube so i'll never find out what happened....

I think the links just changed. If you go to his youtube page here you can view them all.

I want to thank David for this great tutorial, it has provided me with the basic fundamentals of honing and has bought me great success, from the very beginning.

Thanks again David, for your time and effort to put together this tutorial. And thanks to the others, whom also helped make this possible.

After shaving for a week with the razor that you honed and sent me I can say with confidence that you definately have the honing thing down. Great job I am going to get it back to you as soon as I can, but my work schedule has not allowed me to get to the post office yet.

Your videos were very informative.
I too think i need to work on the bevel, i'll try your technique.

Could this possibly be a Sticky in the honing or video forum? This is pretty useful stuff!

I stayed up way to late watching these videos, I learned a lot!
Now I only need to get my hones.

Found these on youtube and they helped me immensely nice to see there was an actual thread regarding them

Thanks to your vids I understand a rolling X now. Thanks so much. Now I can put my old smilers into rotation.
