I thought I made a good first purchase from SRD but I just read somewhere in the library of this site that 6/8 was ideal for a first razor.

Did I make a mistake or is this a marginal deviation or an issue too subjective to render an opinion?

On a side note, Lynn mentioned that I would need a touch up rather than honing after a certain period of time.

What does this mean? I was a bit overwhelmed at the time and forgot to ask.

Take care,
Jason
