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!
