Hi Everyone,
I received a beautifully restored "Royal Blue" straight for my anniversary and tried shaving a few times with it. Trouble is, it doesn't seem to actually be cutting any hair and I think I may need to hone it. I have a set of oil stones for my woodworking tools - chisels and plane irons - so my question is...can I also use those to hone my straight? I've got up through a soft Arkansas stone (Norton) and I'll be investing in both hard and translucent stones in the near future (in the meantime I can send the straight out to be professionally honed).
Anyways, just curious of your opinions. Are there any hygiene concerns here? I assume not because...well, steel is steel.
Thanks!
Mike T.
