I am new to straight razor shaving and Honing for that matter but i have bought a couple of hones for $6 bucks and wanted to buy a Blue Belgian like the one here (The 6"x2" With Beech Box and Strop)http://www.theperfectedge.com/belgian.shtml I am skeptical about the Strop (I am looking at Tony Millers and thinking about buying one of his) and wondered if anyone has bought one from this site i did Email him this morning about a picture of both the strop and the stone. Also is this a good price for a Blue Belgian i think in the deal i got at that flea market i got a yellow stone with slate (I also Got an India Arkansas Extra Fine Oil stone and some other stuff) the guy didn't seem to know what he had. also should i just forget about the Blue and get a Norton 4/8K (The only reason i want a Blue is because i *think* I have a Yellow Cuticle)

I did manage to put a good edge on a couple of pocket knifes I have enough to cut hair off of my arm but am not sure that these stone are good enough for a razor ( I have not tried a razor on them mine is currently getting honed by Lynn)

If anyone is willing to sell two razor one with a Good shave ready edge and one edge Dull so that i could learn to Hone on, I would be interested if it is cheep enough i dont care if they match just good enough to learn to hone on
