Hello everyone.

I just found this site the other day. I got a straight razor and just like any broad head or knife I get I started to sharpen it. I have it hair cutting sharp (shaves arm hair, but needs more work). Anyway, The razor I have is from BudK.com I know it not a real good straight razor, but I can use it to practice with. I have an old wet/dry honing stone and some leather strop. I almost have the bevel that was on it off and a nice edge starting. The maker of the razor is Tomahawk, Its blade is 2 7/8" long XL1026 Stainless Steel. I still need to get mug/brush & soap.


I know the razor not top line, but do you think it would be a good starter?
