    Great honing session Eric!
    I’m with you, the part I enjoy most about straight razors is the honing. Shaving is shaving, honing is the true connection with the razor.

    Great honing video Eric. That natural stone progression sure likes it will produce a keen and comfortable edge.

    @greggallant5058 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    That was an interesting progression for the texture at the apex. A coticle scratch pattern, modified by a Thuringian scratch pattern, modified by an Ark. The result should be _very_ specific since each natural stone is unique. Fascinating! [And, yes, I'll be trying this at some point. I won't let a good idea go uncopied.] BTW, I feel the same way about burnishing an Ark. I _want_ there to be some surface texture to provide me feedback (since I don't count at all), and to give character to the feel of the apex.

    • @Eric_TheCajunBlade
      @Eric_TheCajunBlade  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It was a good one. The Thuri as an in between step did an excellent job setting up the Ark. it felt good, and didn’t take as long to get where I wanted to be with the Ark, and the shave was nice. I will do this again, and probably the way I transition to an Ark moving forward.

      @greggallant5058 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ Did it feel like an Ark edge, or something new? In using a Koma slurry on an Ark before finishing on an Ark, I found I needed less time on the Ark to get a laser sharp Ark finish. Later, I went back to the Ark with a thin Koma slurry and created a feel that was different from what I normally get with an Ark.

    I always use a coti before final finishing on a translucent Arkansas. It might seem weird, but I use the Arks on my American made razors and Jnats on everything else.

      @Eric_TheCajunBlade  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I get to board to be committed to long 😂. I hone on anything that will hold still. My favs are Cot, jnats and Arks. But j spread the love around liberally. Thanks Mike, take care bud.

    Do you think a razor can be so sharp that you need to make it less sharp? I dont know how to say it better, but i think you understand what i mean..

    • @Eric_TheCajunBlade
      @Eric_TheCajunBlade  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I think that in the process of making it sharp, you can make the edge harsh. There is a balanced that each persons face likes. I am not a fan of the guys who say, this that way or your wrong. Every homer needs to find what they like, level of keenness and desired smoothness. You can have both.

    • @alinnimeni3789
      @alinnimeni3789 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @BigEShaves Hmm.....i managed to get the razors i have ( not so many, but enough for me) to be even sharper than before using those stones i bought from uk and some techniques i stole from your videos....they cut like never before, and at the second pass, against the grain, im getting some burns which with a duller blade didnt happen.
      Should i get a better soap or less sharp razor? What do you think i should do/try?

    Hi Eric. Nice. I am now thinking of getting into honing. For an absolute beginner what progression would you suggest? Thx

    • @Eric_TheCajunBlade
      @Eric_TheCajunBlade  หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      If you have not honed at all. I would start with Synthetics. I think the Shapton RockStars are the Best Buy for the buck. I like the Naniwa Chosera line, but my next set will be RockStars. 2k, 6k, 10k would get you honing.
