Description


I am hopeful that this club will help preserve the art of straight razor shaving. Hopefully, we can direct people to places to buy, sell, trade, repair and sharpen razors as well as talk about them. Historical and collecting data is greatly appreciated. Information on strops, mugs and hones will also be welcome. Thanks.

Re: "pyramid" honing
Do I understand this right:  "pyramid" honing is when you begin with a coarse stone and change to finer stones as you go?  If so, that makes sense to me -
