Inevitable I suppose. Santa is bringing me a straight via my brother-in law. Don't know much about it, but I believe a bit of money has been spent.
I intend to hone it myself once it has been 'properly' honed by an expert. After a bit of research it would appear that having 2 razors, one to compare against the other, seems to be sensible. So....! I have just won an Atkinson Bros straight, manufactured in Sheffield (case incl.) for the sum of £6.50.
I thought that even if it was crap, I can practise honing and stropping. Brethern, your opinions please[attachment=0]
