Thread: My current collection of hones.

Really, the only reason to have that many stones is if you are restoring razors and need to bring a dead one back to life. Just starting out with a SR, all you really need is a strop and a touch up stone like a Franz Swaty. This Forum is an Excellent source of information for learning HOW to shave with SR, but a terrible source of information overload on all the detritus that goes with it. Believe it or not, you CAN over hone a razor.

I have around 50 stones or so. I must honestly admit that several of them were totally ill-advised purchases. My advice is to do some deep research on any stone before you plunk down the cash. Disappointment abounds when HAD knocks on your door.

Choose wisely.
