Are there any other methods of honing a straight razor without using hone stones. the reason im asking is that here in SA the stone are hard to get and these that i can get are very expensive. Im also trying to find people that can hone my razors but there seems to be no one, i have email some places but never received a response. Also to sent my razors over seas will cost me just as much as a new hone stone.
Any thoughts....
