Im at the point where people
get in trouble with their ADs. Ive bought razors. I then decided i needed a hone to save some money on honing fees. Once i got one I decided i needed 1 or 4 more. OK fince ive got 4 or five hones now. I watched some videos and did some practicing. I have now honed all 12 of my razors. Its kind of amazing how sharp they werent. SO what? do i put the hones in the drawer until I need to hone again? Ive got an itch just to buy some razors so I can hone them. After that i suppose ill need another set of hones to see if they hone better than my Nortons. Its all crazy but I love it.

Thanked: 275You have lots of company. See my own thread on this topic (which I can't find in the Forum).
One nice thing:
. . . There are a lot of old razors in the world that could use a good honing.

I am with you. I'm brand new to straights and I've already bought enough of them that I need to start selling them off. Next up is hones... then probably brushes, soaps/creams, and strops. Did I miss anything? Maybe a restoration workshop while I'm at it.

Thanked: 1371For me it started with the razors, then it was the hones, then it was the workshop equipment and supplies, then it was the photography equipment.
Good luck!
