Can anyone recommend a honemeister for a ZY430+? I have one that needs honing, and my attempts at using films were not complete successes.
I just honed a ZY and a vintage blade I'm restoring, and tried to use the vintage blade this evening. I got one pass in, but there was a lot of tugging (and some weepers afterwards). Since I'm learning to use a straight (tonight was my first attempt), I think I need to follow the universal advice and make sure my blades are truly shave ready.
I could (and might) ask Jarrod at the superior shave to home my vintage blade, but not the ZY. Anyone know who hones Chinese blades?
Thanks for all of the advice you've given me so far. One pass into using straights, and I'm hooked!
Honemeister for ZY430+?
