Id recommend buying a couple vintage american razors. If they havent been ground hard on a stone they normally are straight and should make good practice razors.

But learn to shave and strop first. After a year you will understand so much more that learning to hone will be easier.

Trust me as I learn this the hard way like a lot of others. After about 3 years i finally learned to shave and hone. If id have started slow as Glenn said Id have learned to hone quicker.
