Thread: A logical progression for learning to hone

My suggestion:

Buy a razor, if you want one that's "shave ready" then get one, but it is not really necessary

Buy a hone, I would go for the Norton 4/8k, it is all you really need and it is realitavly inexpensive.

Buy a strop. A low cost Illinois will work fine

Read up on razor honing, there is plenty of information out there

Go to it. Take you time, it is more about patience than anything else

This is not rocket science, any one with average coordination and dexterity can do it.
