Thread: Will my straight razor "routine" be enough to ensure that it will last?

Hello James,
Welcome to SRP, you are at the right place.
Looks like you've already put in a fair amount of research which is great.
Have you already answered the questions like, which razor, where to purchase strop, brush, soap etc.?
Should I plan to have my razor honed at least twice while I practice on another blade of considerably lesser value? Have you shaved with a straight before? Where do you write from?
The more info you can share with us the easier it is to give you the answers you are looking for.
