Ok, i just bought my first straight razor, a decent looking Butcher Brothers Sheffield. I had a small little pocket hone that seems to have a fairly fine grit, though i'm not sure of the exact grit, after reading a few articles here, i started honing. It actually got fairly sharp fairly quick, just a little uneven, the end of the blade will actually shave, but the base of blade is still kind of dull. I'm thinking this is partly due to the fact that the stone is 1" by 4", and mainly due to the fact that i'm a complete newbie to this. My question is, what is a good hone to start with? I have a strop, and my budget is pretty small, and I'm noticing that alot of hones are pretty pricey. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
