Thread: Hello SRP!

I suggest you go to SRD for your strop as well, you won't get very far with canned shave foam, you'll want a decent cream or soap. You'll also want a shave brush, the choices there are generally between Badger and Boar bristles. And forget about honing for now, but if you must hone, start with getting yourself a finer stone, say a 12k and practice on touching up the edge with that before moving up to honing from scratch with your 1k or lower stone.

Others will elaborate on that for you I'm sure. In the meantime, welcome to the forum, and have fun. I wish you every success. it's the best way to shave once you get the hang of it.
