I've been reading more posts on honing lately as I try to decide if I want to try my hand at it.
I don't restore razors and so what I really want is something to just maintain the edge on my blades.
I keep hearing that a barber hone is all that's really needed. At 1/3 to 1/2 the price of a 12K finishing stone, what am I giving up by going to a barber hone and how do I actually use it? Wet? Dry?
