Hi all,

I got a straight egde a few years ago and I am ready to start honing / sharpening it myself.

I've read a ton of threads (and watched videos) regarding honing and which stones you all prefer. I noticed that some prefer different stones for different razors...

Could someone who has experience with a Zowada Damascus Steel Razor share their opinion of what I should get?

I'm pretty much only going to hone my razor (not looking to hone vintage razors as a hobby or anything). So I am probably not going to really experiment with different types of stones. I am basically going to get one set and stick with it (assuming I'm happy with it). That said $500-$800 isn't exactly chump change for me, but if it's worth it, I don't mind spending that on honing equipment. I don't really want a "starter" kit then grow into another set. I'll just take my lumps now and get it over with. I also don't mind if one stone/method is harder to learn, as long as it's achievable for a non-professional

So taking money and learning curve (within reason) out of the equation, what's going to be my best long term solution.

Thanks!
