    I'd get a nice linen and leather strop, I prefer linen over canvas these days. I'd also get a Shapton 16k for starters, it's good for touch ups. Later I'd get a Norton 4/8 for a 'full' honing (i.e. more than a touch up).

    [EDIT] Bit confused by the ad, is the razor stainless steel or carbon steel?

    Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
