Hi, I've been interested in straight razors for a long time, but the price alone for a whole setup kept me from investing.
I just found out that my knife sharpening stones I picked up at an estate sale a few years ago are razor hones. Two are marked Swaty and the 3rd is a dual-grit "Ezy Edge Hone" by Norton.
Is this sufficient if I just pick up a razor or do I still need a strop and paste, etcetera?
Thank you.
