Sorry, this may be kind of a dumb question but I want to be sure.
I received a straight razor as a gift a year ago. I think it was probably in the 2-300 dollar range and from Germany. Anyhow, I've been maintaining the edge as best I can with a strop, but I've never been able to get it to pass the hair test.
I don't know much about hones, but I'm wondering if I need one. Are there any suggestions for what type of hone I need for the job?
