Just getting started with straights.
Ive been collecting razors on EBay and am pretty sure I've read half of the threads on this forum educating myself over the last year.
It has turned into a verified addiction thus the name "RazorJunky".
I do all sorts of fabricating so the restoration process of bringing a razor back to life will be fun for me. The challenge will be honing.
I am going to send Glen 4 different style razors to get them shave ready so I will know what a properly honed razor feels like and I can start to get an idea of what style razor feels best on my face before I buy any more razors.

My hone question is... What do you guys recommend I buy?
I know it's a common question but I've phrased it differently than Ive seen in previous posts.
I've broken it down into two different directions I can go.
1) The "Old School Route"
A combination stone, barbers hone, diamond plate, a pasted strop and a regular strop
Or
2) The "New School Route"
Chosera 1k, Naniwa SS 3k, 5k, 8k, 12k, diamond plate, Gokumyo 20k and a paddle strop.

I'm thinking the Pros of "Old School" are developing my honing skill set by learning to make a razor as sharp as possible using minimal tools and mastering the art of adjusting pressure, stroke and using slurries to broaden the grit range of each stone and the same with stroping.

The Pros of "New School" being able to follow a simple smooth progression that will sharpen the majority of razors with no fuss. Allowing me to focus skill refinement on difficult razors.

BTW: I am completely overwhelmed and thankful how helpfull and open you guys are about educating and sharing knowledge.
This forum is what really set the hook in me.

Thanks for any wisdom you impart.
