Hi guys,

just a quick economy question.

How many of you hone your own straights?

I've got an old Boker I'm fixing up with a decent blade. If it works out, I'd probably have it honed at first, but would like to do my own.

I got into this, because I really like the shave with a DE or Shavette, but also for the economy. If I had to send my own razor out every few months, it would sort of defeat one of the things I love about the Shavette and DE.

Is its really witchcraft, or not too bad? Can an inexpensive hone be made to work?

I'd be happy to have her honed, and just keep it for that nice saturday morning shave.

Thanks,

Ryan
