Well I've been using my razor for about three months and figured it needed a little honing. Couldn't justify spending $80 on a Norton so I picked up 2 waterstones (slip stones 4000 and 8000 grit) from Shopsmith, Inc. for about $25 with shipping. Well let me tell you my sweet peas, it turned out pretty good. Just reset my bevel a little with the 4000 (about 5 strokes) and did about 10 strokes on the 8000 ---- (kind of did a little pyramid action) --- sent it to the chromium oxide strop, stropped it --and it shaved beautifully ---realized what I had been missing. So even a new guy on a budget can get good results. Later gators,
