    Exclamation Need help with materials before school starts

    I've recently gotten about 2 months ago interested in straight razor shaving (I found out my great-grandfather made a living cutting hair and shaving, but he didn't leave anything behind), and the other day while i was in Orange, California (I live in Anaheim, CA), I went into an antique shop and was only to find a straight razor. It's a Circa 1935 Black Demon German hollow razor, with celluloid handle and carbon steel blade, in pretty good condition for 25 bucks, with only a basically almost invisible chip, but can barely cut hair. High school is starting in a bit and i figured if I am to go fully prepared, it should be with a nice, shaved face (you know, be the manly man who shaves with straight razors).

    There's only one problem, I don't have a hone or a strop for the razor. The place where i bought the razor didn't have them. Can anyone tell me if there is any stores that sell hones and/or strops? I'm a bit tight on cash, so I dun want to buy anything online just yet, and the last thing I bought on Ebay basically broke the very next day, so I wanna stay away from that as well. Please, help a teen trying to impress classmates. Thanks.
