Thread: Making the edge sharp again

As has been said a 12k hone or barber hone or a pasted strop will be able to maintain a shave ready edge.

However for new guys I highly suggest starting with a pasted strop. As it is the least expensive option and more importantly it is using a skill that you have already started to develop. Stropping!

Honing strokes are really a whole new ball game and take time to develop. It's best to buy a vintage razor cheaply and start honing on that when you are ready.

I will add that I am a big fan of paste overall and use them for much more then most guys.
