A bench grinder...... ABSOLUTELY *NOT* ! A bench grinder isn't even used to sharpen a butchers knife let a lone on the delicate edge of a straight razor.

I probably shouldn't say this because of embarrassment, but if it helps one person... Use a straight edge on your stones. I have the Norton 'kit', and over time, the lapping stone became concave, leaving my stones convex. I worked back and forth, figure 8s, and circles. They all wore the same, so that marking didn't work.

@jeremyfoster69428 ай бұрын
Wet and dry paper , on glass or a heavy porcelain tile, cheap effective and doesnt need flattening off, if you actually shave with straight razors you will soon realise that once the initial honing is done you won't be doing if very often thereafter , so dont waste your money on fancy stones,
