I guess my question is...not everyone could afford a really nice hone back in the old days, say late 1800's - to early 1900's. So if they didn't have the better hones to get that super nice fine edge just how did they keep their razors sharp? Did they have to hone more often? Was there a different way to hone? I'm just saying that the average person didn't have the means to have the better equipment but shaved regularly.
Thanks,
Steve
