Taking the plunge
Hi guys
Moved from the mach 3 five blade thing to DE about a year ago and saw the remarkable difference and am about to take a plunge in to the world of straights, Thomas Wilkinson 5/8, filly strop ordered and mikes natural soap
anything else i need to order at this moment?
-
Razor, strop, brush and soap is all you need. The rest is all for luxury or personal preference. Good luck

The biggest obstacle to straight razor shaving is a blade that isn't sharp enough. Here's hoping that yours is properly honed.
-
Sent it for honing as it wasn't shave ready... So here's hoping it is
-
Thanks guys...
Pencil or alum block?
-
Technically a bit different. The pencil is more concentrated and will stop a bleed quick. The alum is more of a all over rub for the end instead of a spot treat.
