Maintaining razor edge
Being new to the world of straights, I recently acquired two already honed. I've got an Illinois Razor 127 strop (has leather and linen) on the way and am looking at something to use to keep the edge when needed. I was wondering if it was worth purchasing a Naniwa 12k for this purpose or another similar hone. The reason I ask is Fendrihan is having a Father's Day promotion until the 17th for 10% off any orders and was looking at the hones they have wondering if, being so new to this, it would be worth the purchase. They also carry DMT, Shapton, belgian coticules and pastes. My biggest problem is not knowing what the best route to go will be. I don't own any other hones and this will probably be the only one I buy for a while and only brought out when I feel like the edge needs a bit of a touch up. That is until I get to the point where I feel the need to buy an entire line of stones/hones. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction and any suggestions.
