I'm leaning towards just getting a decent barbers hone and learning how to take care of my razor. As much as I'd love to have a second razor, I have to be honest with myself and stop the progression of the deadly RAD before it begins. I at least want to wait a few more months before getting a second razor, as I'm sure it would be nice to have a razor to test against, but I am getting quality shaves from my C-mon. Thanks for all your advice guys. I will keep looing on the classifieds though and see if any deals crop up.

I think I'm going to try and get that shumate hone from ebay, if not gem star customs looks to have some affordable hones as well.
