Hi All,

I just wanted to pop in and ask what you all thought is a good setup for basic honing. In other words when I just want to bring razors that I've purchased back to shave-ready after some time of use (I have a Dovo Classic for example that hasn't been honed in a year).

Now I did already buy some stuff. Here's what I got so far:

* Woodstock Japanese waterstone 1000/6000 grit
( Amazon.com: Woodstock D1130 1000 Grit and 6000 Grit Japanese Waterstone: Home & Garden )

*Dovo 2" wide strop
(basic one I actually got a while back when I got my first straight razor from vintagebladesllc)

* Red strop paste

*Illinois 3" wide strop with linen cloth
(this is my main strop now)

I intend to put the red paste on the Dovo strop and use that after I use the 6000 grit side of the Japanese waterstone.

Curious to what else you guys think I should get? I understand I should probably lap the stone when I get it before I use it for any honing. Do I also need a nagura stone (does anyone know)?

Thanks so much everyone, I'm really looking forward to project razors for myself. This is probably just the start I'm guessing
