how do i sharpen my straight razor?

I'll make it simple- no, you can't sharpen it on a crystal.
Go to Walmart, and buy an Arkansas stone. About $10.00.

Get the crystal. That is definately exactly what you want to use.

You mean like this "crystal" stropper on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=21141&item=7129275929&rd=1
Basically glass. It would keep a razor sharp but not really sharpen a dull one. More of a strop type of thing

no just a big crystal

Knifeclerk · Jan 23, 2005

Yeah! A Big Ass Crystal!!

I'm sorry, I have been messing around with you a little bit. But in all seriousness, Be careful on Ebay. I recomend finding a seller you know, and sticking with him. Me, I've always had great luck with this guy: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZzzwn_001 and he has some really good prices! His shipping is a little steep, but it's coming all the way from China.
This is a great guy and I would recomend him to you %100!
