Could a bench grinder be good enough to sharpen the straight razor ? Is putting crayon on stropp belt necessary cause I didn't see it on your video

@philwilliams8328 Ай бұрын
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.

It seems like anything I use to condition my strop, makes it tacky and sticky. Every time I've conditioned, I have to wash it back out with dawn and hot water. I used a liquid conditioner very lightly. Now that I've cleaned it back out, it's kinda dry. Any ideas?

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.

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,
