Thanked: 2204If your razor is new why do you want a hone?
A better choice is an abrasive pasted 4 sided paddle strop. This will get your
new razor shaving sharp and keep it that way for quite awhile.
Try www.thewellshavedgentleman.com , Tony Miller. He is a member here with some great products. The abrasives, diamond paste (water based) can be found at www.classicshaving.com or the boron carbide and chrome oxide can be found at www.handamerican.com .
By the way, I have far more hones then I will ever use in 3 lifetimes and I also have pasted paddle strops with a number of different abrasives so I am not playing any favorites here. The hone can wait for later unless you intend to refurbish a number of used straight razors.
Hope this helps,Randolph Tuttle, a SRP Mentor for residents of Minnesota & western Wisconsin
