Bill, it sounds like you're curious & looking into str8 shaving - perhaps coming from a curiosity about knives, edged tools. A razor is a pretty different animal, requiring more than a casual inquiry.

Do you have a razor? Strop? Brush? Soap/cream? 'Read any of the intro threads?

You'll find alot of help here - but there's some learning to do. You'll find most of the experienced guys recommend learning the shave first - usually months before attempting to hone. The work it takes to learn is rewarded by a fine pleasure you get to repeat *every* day.

'Hope to hear more from you.
