Straight razors. I had one for a few months back in 2008 or so, a Thiers-Issard I believe. Sold it for reasons I can't really recall Do you find the upkeep easy? I can sharpen a pocket knife but a straight requires
even more refined edge.
One can keep a pretty fine edge with 3M, Cr0x and newspaper if they don’t have the patience for stones.
I can be included in the too impatient for Honing on stones category and the above works for me when edge maintenance seems necessary. Other than giving it a few strops before and after my shave, this has worked for me quite a few years now.
