Newbie ? about hones

[americanarmsdealer]

Hi, all. I've decided to take the plunge and start shaving with a straight razor. I'm such a newbie that I have still not even purchased a razor, let alone a strop, brush, etc. I'm leaning toward the Gold Dollar/Strop combo from Ruprazor. From what I've read so far, that's a pretty good deal for the money. I know that even after I get a razor and start using it, it will be quite some time before I need to even start thinking about a hone. I have a Spyderco Tri-angle Sharpmaker that I have extremely good results with for sharpening my assorted pocket knives, but was wondering if anyone here has had experience using one to hone a straight razor. The book that came with the set does include instructions for sharpening a razor, and it seems to be pretty much in line with other info I've found on the web concerning honing. Would this be a feasible option for keeping my razor shave ready?
