I have an old straight razor. Others have told me that I should not use my Tormek. Any opinions?

New here myself, and have one of my grandfathers old straight razors, and several safety razors (my preference).  I tried the straight razor once, and need both practice and honing, so I searched when I came here, before joining and found these two threads, hope this helps:

Yeah you know Tormek have reached sharpening nirvana when you get a prosthetic hand as part of the standard package :/)

Tbanks. I looked at both. I'll try it and see if it does the job.

This dude is using belts, but the principle is the same.  Belt or grinder, it's still just a gritty wheel.  Freehand even!
