    Default Newbie question

    I would like to learn hpw to maintain the edge on my dovo, so i'm considering getting a beginner hone. I was wondering if the Belgian Blue whetstone here would be a good purchase?
    Razor Hones its further down the page
    thanks

    If you're just looking to maintain an already sharp edge, a barber's hone would be a better choice.

    They pop up on e bay from time to time, I have been keeping my eyes open for months, expect to pay through the nose here (UK) or from NI, everything is cheaper in the USA unfortunately.

    Not called The Waldorf by any chance? Barber named Liam? He is quite famous on here if it's the same barbers.
