Thanked: 1What straight razor to buy, and where from given some factors
I'm looking for advice about:
1) What straight razor to buy or a list of suitable candidates/brands.
2) Links to online sites to buy from.
Considering some factors;
- It needs to be available to buy online in Europe (postage to Hungary).
- Cost up to approximately £125 including postage, though I can be swayed.
- I hope to hone and sharpen the razor with ceramic stones, a 12k water stone and a strop. Do I need higher than 12k grit?
- I am concerned about honing and sharpening a hollow ground straight razor. Do all straight razors come with a hollow ground? I am well versed in flat ground and convex ground knife/axe sharpening, but I have never sharpened a razor. Does it require different technique (other than bevel angle considerations)?
There will likely be more questions to follow.
Thank you in advance. All the best!Last edited by Blunt; 01-09-2017 at 06:22 PM.
