My blade just started to tug...I decided to put it down and not shave for a few days. I finally decided I needed to pick up some gear to maintain the razor.

I want to wait on getting a Norton set so I sprung for a barbers hone (it says 12k but I will be fine with any grit towards the high end) and a balsa strop with CrO and iron oxide. I can't wait to refresh the blade and get a nice fresh shave again!

side question...after hitting the barbers hone and the CrO, should I use the iron oxide side or just let it be? On here it looks like most people just use the chromium oxide.
