Bob, in addition to following the advice of Randy and the other users, you might also try stropping on a good linen strop before going from the hone to the leather strop. Many of the users here, myself included, swear by the results. A piece of leather or a flatbed hone with .5 micron paste is also another step that you can try right after honing if none of the other techniques have brought your razor to satisfactory shaving edge. The paste can be purchased from Classic Shaving or several other sites mentioned here by different users. While classic barber hones can provide excellent results, they can also be a cause of frustration for the beginning shaver as they are bit trickier than some of the larger sharpening stones. They are the most affordable however.
