    If what you are looking for is touch up then a barbers hone, and a pasted strop or a 12K or a natural finisher will all get you there. A natural is a bit more dedication in the learning department. They will all get you to where you want to be. A 12K synthetic will be the fastest route with the least amount of research and looking for the right buy. Where could you possibly be that there are no meets near you? I think that is my claim, and I think unless someone from Alaska or Nunavut chimes in ...

    It's not a knife, it's a razor. There's a lot more to it that grit # and motion.

    In the library and a few other spots on the forum is a very old article about what you are asking..

    Personally I doubt many people can answer the question that are asked in the article or that the guys are asking you here without about 6 months experience shaving with a SR first...

    What hone(s), paste(s), or spray(s) do I need? - Straight Razor Place Library
