Last night marked 1 week of straight razor for me (though the weekend I used a cartridge since I flew to my parents house, and a straight would probably cause problems in carry-on baggage.. note to self, buy spare straight to leave at parents house!)

I have a Wostenholm from Topher as part of a newbie kit and a Case of BST. Both will give a decent shave, the Wostenholm probably a bit sharper.
However, with either I have to use more pressure than I think should be neccessary based on what people here have said. I don't get massive irritation, but it just doesn't feel as good as it seems like it could be.
I'm considering sending the Case out to Lynn so I have a benchmark, but since it already seems close (shaveable) I'm also thinking maybe it would be a decent time to pick up a hone to just do a very light touchup. I've tried the newspaper method, but maybe just a bit more than that. What hone/paste/strop would be good for a very very light touch up?
