Hi all, I'm finally feeling ready to jump into straight razor honing but have a few questions. Mainly it's whether or not I should jump in and what kind of razor you'd recommend I acquire. I'm a professional knife sharpener and have some awareness of straight razor honing and sharpening --read...

Following up on this (maybe should make new thread?) I tried a couple sandpapers. they were bad-OK but wore fast and changing them out isn't quick, plus they get loose particles everywhere. I went back to my local knife shop to pick up the 400 grit BBB and they are now out of stock. They took...
