The straight dope on what I need to hone for the first time?
So after reading some on honing, and seeing all the different types of hones and techniques, I feel a little lost on what I really need. I bout my dovo straight a few months ago shave ready, and it has finally started to dull. I don't want to spend more than I need to get my razor back to shave ready status. What do I need to buy?

A good barbers hone is a good place to start. Very easy to use and they do the job. Of course it all depends on how far off your razor is.
A pasted strop can keep you going for quite a while but eventually you will need to go to the hones.

+1 you may have to go through a few Baber Homes before you find the Right one for you, but it's worth it.
