    Default 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.

    You 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.

    For 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!

    That sounds like the right progression of things!

    I start a new job tuesday, my first salary will be hones or soaps... as I have 4 ready razors and too much reapairables lying around. Everyone will be bitten by the AD bug at some point.
