Since getting my first straight razor from Bucca and a second one from Seraphim, I've been obsessing over edges. So far both of the razors are treating me nice and I've been successful maintaining the edges on the strop.
I have several vintage razors sitting around that I want to get shave ready so I decided to purchase my first hone set-up. I ordered a King 1K and the Norton 4K/8K. From what I've read this is a great place to start and should hold me over for awhile.
I'll go to the local hardware store tomorrow and grab a polished stone tile so I can lap the stones when they arrive. If you have any pointers please fill me in. I'm looking forward to being fully shave supporting through my own contributions.
