Contest Winner 

Hones & Honing  

• It’s time to Hone 
• There are so many different tools to hone a razor.  I’ll go over the basics to get you started. 
• I would recommend going full synthetic hones before going to a natural for consistency. 
• Norton 1k, 4k/8k and 12,000 grit Chinese finisher is the most cost effective way to start. 
• Use more water than you think you should.  
• Never use a knife sharpener! 
• Practice Practice 

How to Care For Your Straight Razor  

• Always store dry with a light coat of mineral oil.
• Use a silicone sleeve if possible.
• Keep it out of the bathroom if possible 
• Strop before storing. 
• Check periodically. 

What If It’s Not For You?

There are many ways to offload your straight stuff if it’s not for you.  

I’ll tell you how.
