I'm looking to buy the Norton Waterstone Starter Kit on Amazon.com for $135. I have been shaving with a straight razor for about 2 years now. I shave with a razor that I bought from Bob's Razors (whom I cannot speak highly enough of). I enjoy buying razors from eBay but so far do not have the means to get them shave ready. I'm wondering if the Norton kit will give me the equipment (not so much the skill) to do so. Would this be a good investment for someone looking to hone their skills (pun intended!) with straight razors? If so, I need to buy it while the money is in the bank! Oh, and I assume that this same kit will sharpen household kitchen knives and such? If so I might actually be able to justify the purchase to the wife...
