To all who replied..very friendly forum and many thanks for all advice.
Hope I have not jumped too soon,but have just ordered the beginners hone set from Tilly(nice lady)..have a strop..razor I have I think I have destroyed,tried honing before reading this forum using a normal hone..so
Have my eye on a few razors on ebay at present but unsure how good or bad they are...and embarrasing enough a number of members on this board are bidding...so I dont really wish to "compete" halwilson is on at least 3 of them.
Again thanks for all help and advice.
