Hi all,

I am just starting up with straight razors and have a basic starter kit including a couple of hanging strops.

I am obviously keen to ensure I maintain my blade correctly.

From the alternatives (as I see it but happy to be put right) of a barbers hone or pasted paddle strop, a barbers hone seems to me to be a better option. Can anyone in the uk recommend where to get one or a decent option online. I have seen things like this Natural hand made fine Barber razor hone & slury stone sharpening top up water | eBay on eBay which seems to have good reviews. Would this be ok for a few strokes to refresh with? Sorry if that's an incredibly dim question!
