Greetings Gents,

I am quite new to straight razor shaving and I'm having trouble deciding upon a finishing hone. There are so many options out there. Unfortunately, I have come to the realization that a yellow coticule is a bit too pricey for me right now, but I cant decide on another. There are so many opinions! Chinese 12k? Spyderco Ultra Fine? Barber hone? Pasted paddle strop? I am about to wear my computer and my wife's patience out looking and researching. Any more suggestions? Thank you in advance. Cheers
