Okay so I have been shaving with a straight for a couple of months now with pretty decent results. I originally bought a DOVO "Micarta." Then about a month later I bought a DOVO "Bismark." The micarta is stainless and the bismark is carbon. When I got the bismark I was amazed at how much better of a shave I got from it. I assume maybe I stropped the micarta wrong in one of my first shaves. Well now I am looking to hone them back up. Neither one has a bad edge, per se, but I definitely think they could be better. I have been doing a lot of reading on here and since they were both professionally honed prior to being shipped to me it seems I need a barber's hone. Is this correct? I also do not know what brands I should look for or where to even look. Or will a 12k or higher stone achieve the same results. I basically just want something to bring my previously honed blades back up to snuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
