    Stropping is the answer I think you're after. Honing is for the more experienced or the experimenter of razor restoration. As for what kind of strop...It's personal choice really. I have heard that the 'Filly' is a cheap starters strop. Others from your part of the world will be of better assistance in that regard. SRD strops seem to be all the rage for those who are beyond the strop destroying stage. Good stropping technique will maintain the edge of your razor for some time. Eventually you will need to send it out for re-honing or take the time to learn. Basic kit is all that required, maybe a set of Norton stones up to 8k grit and a double sided strop.
