Hello

Yesterday I posted a question about my inability to hone a $15 brand new Ebay razor. Being a beginner I figured it was me but the helpful guys in this forum told me it was because of bad steel. It was a "German Style" razor with Chinese steel.

The guys suggested I get an older vintage razor to learn to hone with and another to learn to shave with.

I know about DOVO and Thiers Issard but they seem a little pricey for me to learn to hone. Ebay has many vintage.

Can anyone suggest a quality steel razor to hone with and/or a beginners shave ready razor?

Thanks

Mark
