Hello Joe, I agree with you 100 percent. The angle of the bevel will change with every honing but the amount of change is so minute that it really does not...
For me, this has become academic, because I find I do a real honing once, and the rest of the time I'm just refreshing. No sense in taping then. You're right...
Hi All, 1) Do I need to hone every new razor I buy? Most Dovo's I buy are not very comfortable. I have 2 Norton stones, a 4k/8k and a 200/1000. For a new...
1) Only if you want to be able to shave. Occasionally a new one will only require stropping, but honing is usually required. Not a lot, though. Use the 4/8...
After the talk about ebayers using tricks to sell junk I thought I'd mention another ebayer to look out for, this time for positive reasons - they occasionally...
Hi all, I haven't posted or even lurked for a while, but I thought I'd let you know I performed my first straight razor shave today. I had my first straight...
... Patrick, For the most part, yes. No new razors really come shave ready and 99% will need honing in order to use them. Dovo, Thiers-Issard....it does not...
If you don't take any metal off the spine HOW can you maintain the bevel???? You are taking metal off the edge which decreases the width of the blade while...
Violation of eBay rules? Joe, you're a lawyer! Don't they call that fraud? John Crowley ... could prove it, they would boot him out. ... healing ... play ......
I intentionally didn't mention that because online commerce is a mess when it comes to jurisdiction under the criminal laws. Federal law, which I did mention...
Am I missing something here? Ebay #250022289741 and #170016321302 Look AWFULLY similar! One is out of CA the other out of FL. Hmmm, suptin's fishy!! C utz...
... split ... blades. ... straights soon. ... happened. ... half? ... I'm going to barber school, the "razors" we use there take a half of a blade like yours,...
... And pretty obvious which one is the dishonest seller when one has decent feedback rating and multiple photos of the item but the other has a feedback...
I just sent identical questions to both sellers, referencing the opposite sellers item in the question. If something's fishy I'm guessing pictures would be...
I seem to remember that, in order to clean a paddle strop with no paste on it, I need shaving soap and my brush. Am I right? Thanks everyone in advance. Nicola...
My opinion is that it's not a good idea to wet leather with water. If you want to clean ir use the goop that auto mechnics use to clean their hands, Nicola...
I have worked with horses for many years, and my leather cleaner of choice is still good old glycerine soap. I lather it on a damp sponge, lay the leather on...
I also have been using saddle soap with water on strops for years without problem. After it dries, I just condition it with minks oil and they have all worked...
... Hello Randy, Are those measurements of flat or hollow ground blades? All I have is hollow ground to compare too. I assume flat would be ground a bit ...
I had some time this weekend, and I pulled out the ol' tackle box of razors I have collected, but yet to get to. SO, since enough time has passed as to not...

As usual, we had a great chat last night. The Sunday night chats have been really consistent and provided some great razor talk. See you guys there next week. ...
Yes it was great..........too bad that I had to leave. Bill Lynn <adjustme69@...> wrote: As usual, we had a great chat last night. The Sunday night chats...
LOL! Thanks! BUT as for now, you still have time to think on those. I'm posting this present lot on eBay, then a second lot...After which, I'll be looking to...
Hi! After finding out that straight razor shave is the right thing to do, I was converted, naturally. Since then, I've joined this list and have been reading...
