Teach yourself to hone while you're staying in a hotel, keeps you out of trouble! That way you'll spend less on booze and have more money to spend on...RAZORS.

So, I think you ought to learn how to hone. Start with a razor that you have used for a while and that is slightly less sharp than you like. Take an 8k or coticule and you cannot go far wrong. Keep the spine on the hone, move slowly, you can hardly screw anything up. A rifle man like yourself will have a steady hand I expect.
