Kamisori (japanese razor).

Full finish with chromium oxide - ignore the stray mark, nobody will notice.

This is the best I'm capable of, but it takes a while because it's a razor and you can't be rough or the edge will crumble. The routine is 15 minutes or so, so no good for tools.


Well, the guy that got this razor was pretty excited. Now he wants to send all of his razors and pay to have them honed.

That's something that goes on in the razor community, but the fact that people will pay someone else to sharpen their razors just blows me away. I have straight razors because I don't want to pay money into the system that wants you to believe shaving requires consumable-ish expenses aside from some soap, but lots of folks manage to make it cost as much as shaving with gillette's finest rip-off goofiness.
