I am not into restauration.. I will receive sortly a shave ready razor and will like to maintain it by myself. The stone that I need is for touch ups and edge refreshing only. Just for the razor I bought. I will not hone for the moment until I have a proper stropping and shaving technique.
The solutions that I like most are the following
1.- barber hones, For what I read, It seems that it is exaclty what I am looking for. I will like to know where to buy them, preferible in Europe or ebay with confidence. If not, rest of the world is ok.
2.- Belgium hones.
BBW seems to be a good natural stone, very slow, it is difficult to over hone, it may be a very good solution but I do not know if it will be enough.
3.- Belgium cuticule
Should be enough.
My question is, Where to go?
Suggestions, as always are very very wellcome.
Thanks Folks!
