    Hello Fellow Long Islander,

    I have been at SR shaving for a little under a year and bought some hones to maintain my edge. What I found out is that I have a hard time honing, so I leave that to the professionals. What I now do is refreshing the edge once a month on a paddle/balsa strop with chromium oxide. I made the paddle exactly as specified under the wiki tab and clicking "maintaining SR". Look under "making a pasted balsa strop". You will see how to make a home-made strop for only a few dollars. It works great. I wish I knew the person who published it because it does the job very well. Just buy some chromium oxide and you will be able to always have a sharp razor. If ever you need honing, maybe once a year, you can send it out to a professional. This will save you time and money. Hope this helps.
