hey everyone, im still in the process of looking for a straight, a hone and a strop, as well as a brush... ive been researching for the past couple weeks and ive come across this: http://www.knifecenter.com/kc_new/st....html?s=CC231P
its a strop (of unknown origin) a dovo 5/8 carbon and a hone which is an arkansas fine grit (thats all the poeple on the other end of the phone know about it).... the whole package comes to 134.00 which is pretty damn good if you ask me... but it seems tooo good... is this hone decent enough to sharpen my razor properly?? i have been really hoping that i win a razor or hone or brush or anything really in the draw, but with my luck, ill probably miss out like usaul! lol.... anyways, one more thing, ive been shaving with a desposable straight for a while, and find that when i shave up it drags quite a bit and seems to "jump" or "skip" (think of skipping a stone in a pond) across my face.... and that is still on the third pass with a new razor.... i just dont get it... ive pretty much followed all the steps and techniques... is it the razor or is it me?? lol thnaks
