Thread: Second razor & buying a hone???

Hello everyone I've got a question..

Since I've gotten my Straight Razor kit from Vintage Blades I've ben thinking of getting a second Razor & ofcorse a hone but I'm not 100% sure which to get.

I've been thinking of getting this Razor from Amazon.com Amazon.com: Ultimate Pro 150 Straight Razor: Health & Personal Care & then 1 or 2 hones to practice honing because as I understand it this razor does not come Shave Ready & the practice would hopefully benefit me in keeping my razor sharp for use.

Two things.
Does anyone have a suggestion on the hones I should buy?
I've been reading & it seems that a 8K & most definitly a 12K Barbers hones are the way to go but there are so many out there & I've been burned before on Ebay so I'm not sure who is a good source.

That Razor that I'm thinking about, does anyone have any experience with them or have a better suggestion "remember this will eventually be a shaving razor but my intention is to use it to learn to hone properly & is why I'll go on the cheap for this one."

Thank you for any suggestions.
