I’m considering giving the straight razor a go. I’m just starting with DE but have become intrigued with the straight. My first questions are about honing stones.
Would I be better trying to buy a vintage stone in good condition? There is welsh slate hones that the seller says are like 8k or 12k and come with a smaller slurry stone. Which sort of grit would be best to maintain a razor if I bought one ready to shave? Or would I be better with a 2 sided stone?
I would very much appreciate any advice.
