Thanked: 0Thanks everybody for all the warm welcomes. I actually bought a barber stone for this razor assuming everyone quickly learns to hone their own razor. Was that a bad idea? I know it takes practice to do it very well, but I just thought as long as I am careful I can at least do it well enough to keep it at least shave able.

If you don't plan on buying and honing a lot of razors a Barber's hone is good to have. There is a break even point on the number of razors you get professionally honed and purchasing your own hones. Get the razor(s) professionally honed for the first time and then maintain the edge on the Barber's hone when it feels like it is starting to tug. It would be a good idea to have at least two razors when you plan on learning to hone so you have one to shave with while you are learning to hone the other. People have said that would be around three months under normal usage. I wouldn't know though. My razors are lucky if they get used twice a year.
