Thread: Switching from DE to straight

And you can pick up a Barber's hone for less than $20.00 and keep your razor shaving well for a long time before dumping hundreds into stones.

Hi and welcome. The SRD package is good. I have 16 razors now with all but 2 of ebay. I got the ralf aust 5/8 and an English bridle 3". The good thing about these strops is you can replace the components when you nick them( you will) and you could get a piece to paste for when you need touch ups. The razors are well made and come with free 2nd honing. The naniwa 12k hone will give you a smooth sharp edge and with no woops moments should see you through for a looong time.
