I've just graduated to full-time straight shaving, after years of only doing it on weekends when I had time to clumsy around with my subpar razors.

OK, this might include October too, but it's been the same "purchasing cycle."

New SS Dovo with ebony scales
Lynn's DVD
DMT 325 hone
Brush stand
Norton 4k/8k hone
Spyderco UF hone
Antique-store Carbo-Magnetic

The total? A chunk.

The experience? Priceless.

I've got a nice collection of hones (including a Coticule) from previous life and family trickledown. But I am drawn to hones like Kubrick's monkeys to the monolith. Help, help me!
