I am currently deployed in Afghanistan. I知 tired of spending the money on Gillette razors and have been fascinated and curious with the straight razor shave for a while. So im finally ready to start. I'm on a budget and will probably pick things up one piece a time until I have everything I need. My concern is being able to keep the blade shave ready without being near someone that can hone it. I知 going to get all the things necessary to keep a shave ready blade, but not sure if my ability will mess up the blade. I would appreciate any advice to my situation. I haven't purchased anything yet. Just doing my Homework. Any advice would be greatly accepted. Hope everyone has a great Christmas!

Thanks
