Thanked: 270I think the forefathers used barber hones with mixed degrees of success. Straights were eventually replaced by simpler forms of shaving. For me the razors in vogue when I started shaving were uncomfortable and did a lousy job. After 40 years of that I got so fed up that I looked for alternate ways of shaving.
The various modern ways of honing are used by enthusiasts, not for economic reasons, but because it's a hobby and challenge to get the ultimate edge. My problem was solved with the DE but I became fascinated with the straight and took it to an absurd level.
