sharpening stones are expensive?
Hi.
I am new to straight razors, I am still waiting for my first one to arrive.
I have read a lot stating that vitualy all, factory new razors need to be honed and stropped before use.
I have a basic leather strop on order, but the sharpening stone is proving to be more expensive the cheapest on ebay for an 1000/6000 stone is £25+.
more money than i can afford at the moment.
so i am missing an vital component of my kit.
is their a cheaper alternative.
thanks
John.
