Great video. For not being tutorial, you did a damned fine job of explaining everything. The _Cuban Music_ doesn't work for when sharpening. I start drinking Mojitos, smoking cigars and end up dancing in the driveway with my neighbor's _Abuela._ Then I forget I need to shave and have to start again in the morning.

Refreshing to see someone flip the razor correctly. Too many KZbin sharpeners flip the razor or knife improperly, rolling the over.

I am 100% sure I did but it lowers the ph of the water and prevents the carbon steel from rusting as easily
@bobbyscalchi4013 Жыл бұрын
Prohibits flash rust with any iron or steel. Conversely you can also remove rust with a vinegar soak just no more than an hour or the steel or iron will discolor and you will have to polish the metal. (Honestly if there is rust you should polish it and the pits it leaves behind anyway.)

I have never see any make a slurry, or advocate, making a slurry, on a whet stone before.
@CrazySharp Жыл бұрын
That’s because these are water stones not whet stones … whet stones use oil

About how many shaves should I expect before next time doing this again? I'm new to straight razors.

4-6 months depending on how well you maintain the edge on a strop and keep it clean and dry
