Being under House Arrest (TOTALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL I might add) I decided to spend the day honing up the blades on this 7 day I picked up a few months back. All blades had some smile to them😡 This means a boat load of roughing. I started out on my 1000 Naniwa to what I had to deal with. 4 of the blades I was able to get the majority of the smile out 90%+ straight. 3 needed extra work. So I opted for my India for this. I got those 3 good and went back to set the bevels. When all was said and done. I had spent 6 really relaxing hours honing up some blades. I will give them a spin in a few weeks. I have 4 razors 2 Injectors and 2 SE’s on loan from a member on another forum. I need to get through. Next weekend I think I will hone up my Wilkinson Pall Mall 7 day set. Then my Heljestrand 7 day set. Oh good times having my rights violated. Tom

Lol. I am trying to do my part by not being around people other then work. We can get out to exercise so I went to the levee for a walk yesterday. Love the honing story. Keep at it!

I have another Pall Mall 7 day coming later this week. So that is 3 7 day sets 1 4 day set and 6 loose blades to hone. 31 blades that will keep me out of trouble for the foreseeable future. Almost forgot my Rolls blades. I think I have 3 or 4 of them. Stay safe my friend.

That Torrey is spectacular looking. I really hope to find one some day. You told me that the Wilkinson takes a modern blade but there is a little extra room each side. What about the Torrey will that take a Gem blade?

Thank you. I still need to rebuild my honing supplies and skills. I have one or two wedges but haven't tried them.
