Hi,

Well it's been a month now since i started straight shaving, and most likely due to improper stropping the blade is feeling dull. It still shaves, but it's not smooth as it once was. Unfortunately stropping hasn't brought it back. I think i'm doing it correctly, not too much pressure and essentially leaving the cutting edge along for the ride.

So my question is, what is a good inexpensive hone for a beginner to start out on ? I only want to bring back the sharpness, not polish or anything fancy.
I have a second cheap razor that i can practice on before moving on to my every day razor.

Thanks
Gencer
