    Default Minimum kit for honing SRs

    I want to learn how to hone my own straight razors from the outset of my straight shaving journey. I prefer to learn the skill rather than to ask someone to do something that I can learn to do myself. I am independent that way. I honed my own knives for years...so i am not a complete newb.

    I am reading everything I can find on honing and watching videos. I am intrigued by the variation in approaches, tools and techniques. The basics, however, seem...well, pretty basic.

    I would like some opinions on what I need as a minimum kit to start the process. I don't want to break the bank...my pockets are not that deep. FYI...I will be working with razors that are vintage antique store finds. Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom...
