Thread: Newbie question

I would like to learn hpw to maintain the edge on my dovo, so i'm considering getting a beginner hone. I was wondering if the Belgian Blue whetstone here would be a good purchase?
Razor Hones its further down the page
thanks

If you're just looking to maintain an already sharp edge, a barber's hone would be a better choice.

any idea where to get one? preferably a UK/irish web site?

They pop up on e bay from time to time, I have been keeping my eyes open for months, expect to pay through the nose here (UK) or from NI, everything is cheaper in the USA unfortunately.

The barber's hones I have I got off of ebay or in antique stores.

damn that's annoying. there's an old school barber in dublin, he honed my razor, might drop by next time i'm in town and see if he has any ideas.

Not called The Waldorf by any chance? Barber named Liam? He is quite famous on here if it's the same barbers.

thats the one exactly! i didn't know he was that well known!

Bingo! Hang around here for a while and you will find that in shaving terms it's a small world!

i plan to hang around!
