Cheap Practical Razors for Beginner Honing
Hi everyone,
I've been straight shaving now for about eight months and would like to embark into the art of honing. I've already accumulated a decent collection of razors I am proud of and the last thing I would like to do is end up damaging a razor beyond repair due to user negligence.
I was wanting to ask you fine people if you have any recommendations for razors that are cheap ($20.00 or less) that would actually be considered "honable". I understand the difference between the level of need for honing whether you need to "refresh" a razor, do a moderate job, or a complete restore of the bevel. I've purchased a Norton set (220/1000, 4000/8000, lapping stone, thinking of getting a Naniwa 12k soon) so I would like to get my feet wet with as many different variables as possible.
I understand that a lot of people on the forum recommends shaving/stropping for a period of time before jumping into honing, but my current train of thought is to gain experience on razors I don't mind possibly damaging so that when I come across the need to lay my nicer razors on a stone, I won't have to worry about creating damage due to lack of experience.
Thanks everybody in advance!
