lol I prefer buying razors- a few hones is all I need. I don't have HAD. A couple strops is all I need- I have SAD but not badly. BUT RAZORS! Oh boy! Thats the beauty- you can get a razor and hone it and run it over the strop and boom. See- hones can be used fro a lot of razors, but once a razor is sharp its sharp. So I need more razors to work on. LOL.
