Welcome to SRP. Congrats on your new razor! +3 on getting a pro to hone it for you. Do not get in a rush to buy and use hones right away. You need to focus on your stropping, lathering and shaving techniques. (All the honing in the world will not help if you can't perform these three basic functions of wet shaving) Learn to enjoy the shave and the basics of maintaining your edge first. Honing will come later as needed...

Welcome to SRP medicnix: Visit the Library at the top of the page. You can find answers to most of your questions. For all others please feel free to ask on the forum. If your a "Do It Yourself Kind Of Guy" you will need a complete set of hones if your intentions are to learn honing.
When you get your "Shave Ready" razor back from honing. Don't strop it before the first your shave. This will give you a bench mark to judge how a "Shave Ready Razor" feels. A real straight razor will be more forgiving than your Spartan. You will learn to use less of a blade angle with your real S.R.
Here are some good videos to help you.
