Brand new to the world of honing
Im not quite sure where this should be posted so feel free to move it. The norton starter set is something i may purchase down the line. But for now, im more interested in something i can touch up my blade with besides my pasted strop. Am I right to assume that a barbers hone would be a good way to go, and a decent way for a newbie to learn some future honing techniques? I have enough razors, that i can use one for practice on a barbers hone...but im having quite a hard time finding them anywhere besides ebay.
Swaty is what i hear everyone talking about. The ones on ebay have pretty much no description so im a bit leary, ive been talking to a few members here who may be able to sell me one.
Am I pretty much on the right track here? Use normal stropping, and the pasted side occasionally. Then i could use my barber hone to really touch up the edge nicely?
If anyone could describe how they use a barber hone (adding water, lather and whatnot) or point me in the direction of where i could purchase one I would greatly appreciate it
