Hi,
I am shaving with only one razor and do not have the intentions of restoring or doing any major work on them at this time. As such, should I sharpen the razor (as needed) with strops and diamond paste or go the route of multiple hones/hone flattening equipment? I understand that it is not necessary to hone very often, just every couple months or as needed. Which route is easier for a rookie? Which is cheaper? Which gets a sharper whisker weapon? Thank you.
