SOMETHING ABOUT HONING or TEST STONE

Honestly saying, I was thinking a lot before write this article. The reason is a simple one : as many sharpeners, as many ways of honing. It is clear that the honing of the knife differs from the honing of the scissors, and both of them differ from the honing of the blade razor. The last is an invitation to a regular discussion. But to the constructive discussion, where there is no place for trolling and disputes until the hoarseness about which of us, the"sharpeners"is more awesome.The question of honing razors is not an easy one, and you need to approach it carefully. At the same time, I do not like to cast a shadow on the fence and I think that the problem of honing is so important and always relevant that it would be wrong to get around it’s attention in the blog. I will try to present the material in such a way that it is also understandable to the reader who does not have the training of a sharpener and generally faces such a discussion for the first time. An additional motivation for writing the article was the questions of our customers who note the high quality of the razors Art•RAZOR and, at the same time, sometimes show surprise at our choice of honing materials. In fact, many European razor lovers still believe that the best sharpening of the blade can be achieved solely on expensive natural stones!
