Hi All,
I've just picked up a "random lot" of 5 straights of ebay for £15. The auction wasn't even photographed, so I've got no idea what the hell I'm getting!
The aim of the purchase was to get some cheap blades which I can trash while learning honing / stropping technique - I may even end up with a usable blade at the end of it!
I'm now in a position where I'd like to acquire a paddle strop and a hone - I've read the stickies and to be honest are none the wiser.
I don't really want to spend the earth on either product as I may not even end up shaving with them if I can't get on with it.
Can you recommend a strop & (two sided?) hone?
Cheers.
