Hi all

I am new to honing my razor.

I have up to now only used a leather strop and a paddle one with paste. So far it has been working good.

But, I feel more and more I need to get a hone.

So, to my question; why did the barber used hone to do the light re-sharpening of a razor and not a paddle strop with paste? Price?

Thanks for looking

Cheers
