This is an odd question and it's a little like asking us what colour you prefer. Glen's suggestion is a good one for some, but I couldn't achieve a good edge from my barber hones for years! A chromium oxide pasted paddle strop might be a more natural first step. Get both and see which you prefer.

'First' because you need a back up, right?
