Thanked: 0Serious beginner straight razor problems.
I bought my first straight razor a few months ago. I didn't think it mattered so I bought it just because I thought German Surgical Steel was good. Its made by Frost Cutlery and it was really cheep for a straight razor. When I first got it it wouldn't shave so I stropped it like crazy and it still wouldn't cut. Then I realized it was sharpened at like a 40 degree angle so I honed it down. I have a tri hone for honing and 4000 grit Arkansas sharpening stone. I have tried getting this thing sharp forever it seems. I watched so many videos on youtube learning how to sharpen it. Ive tried everything I can think of and it still wont even take hair off. So I figured I'd come to some people who knew what they were doing for advice. Can anyone tell me what I should do to get my razor sharp or am I just wasting my time with this cheap straight razor?
