Hi guys,

I got myself a cheap straight razor made in China - one of those Golden Dollar deals. It didn't come sharp enough to cut the hair on my face, but it has proven to be fully capable of cutting hair everywhere else. So obviously I need to get a strop, but I probably need to get a stone or such to sharpen/bevel it first. The thing is, straight razors mainly interest me from a perspective of not being wasteful, and potentially being cheaper to shave with. I'm not going to buy a bunch of $80 stones, and I find it absolutely absurd that people are willing to pay that much.

I really don't care about making my razor as sharp and perfect as possible - I just want it to adequately cut the hair on my face.

So if I'm to buy one cheap stone along with using a strop, and nothing else, what might I want to buy?

Thanks.
