I found these: Global Sharpening Guide Rails Set of Two: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home


Would they be useful for straight razors?
I've been looking at those to use with my kitchen knives, but on razor the resulting angle might be too high as they by my guestimation would raise the spine too much. Also, I don't know if you could attach them properly. Could work with those framebacks with the pipe as a spine.
