  • @pennywise69clown @horsefly4 Agreed. you only break even at around the 5-10 year mark if you are wise in what you buy. but its a manly skill that you should learn, cuz if shit goes down, you wont be able to buy cartridges or use electricity.

  • @horsefly4 Cost-wise. NO!!! It definitely doesn't. You think it will, because you think the razor, stones and strop will last your whole life. And they will. But then you see an antique razor at a swap-meet, or you decide to buy a stone with a finer grit, or an antique French strop and the finest paste you can find. Nobody buys this stuff to save money. A good electric razor probably works out cheaper than anything except growing a beard. I found myself on Ebay only yesterday, looking at stones.

  • @scaryguy101 it's a slurry stone (small piece of stone of the same type) - it raises the garnets out of the stone to create a milky, abrasive liquid

  • What was he rubbing the honing stone with? 

  • Hey is this video for demonstration purposes or does the Waldorf offer razor sharpening services too? Thanks

  • Would sir like a shave under the chin?  ... Err, gulp

  • So therapeutic... 

  • could you please tell me what are you first rubbing on the stone? Thank you

  • @artiefun

    A nagura stone.

    These create a fine slurry on the waterstone that helps sharpen the blade quicker.

    Nagura stones only work with very fine grits, like 4000 and finer.
