don't they use a good thick leather belt to regain the edge ? i think they still do.
Not even sure using a honing stone is a good thing for a straight razor because the edge is so fine.
If the edge is rounded off, why not pass it over a butchers steel a few times at a very shallow angle. take much less metal away and preserve the thin edge than using a stone.
after that finish on a leather strap.
