lol   I'm talking about shaving, not um...yeah.

No luck with a barber shops around here. One doesnt use them and the other uses the replaceable blade styleAll the cool ,old stuff doesn't get used anymore

See My Barber is old school he still uses them for side burns and the back of the neck. He even use the thick leather strip to clean and  keep them sharp. Old school

Can't you get a fine wetstone and a strop?  I gave my dad a setup like that.  Can't remember where I got it though.

I've got a barber stone and a strop that I use to keep my other razors in good shape. But a barbers stone is extra,extra fine and just works for maintaining an already good edge. I dont have the coarser stones needed to whip a new razor into fighting condition. And good stones are super expensive.Like,several hundred dollars and up!
