Thanked: 0Am I obsessive or thinking in terms of the future?
So i received my first SR in the mail yesterday (Boker King Cutter). Being very excited about this new found hobby, i woke up and jumped in the shower excited because its my day off work so i know i can take my sweet time shaving. So i shaved and all and it didnt go to bad except for not being able to get a good shave (which i expected since im new to this). Well i start cleaning up and put everything away and i look at the razor and think "Ehh, a few laps on the strop wouldnt hurt." Well.... It did. I put a nice nick on the strop. Very close to the end near the D ring so i figured i could just avoid that area next time. I give it a few more laps and notice that im not that well on the return and i feel like i might dull the blade if I dont correct this issue.
So i jump online and "randomly" clicked on the classic edge site and find a C-MON and strop set for a pretty affordable price... Then i thought to myself... "If i dull the blade on the Boker, i'll have to send it in to get it honed and i dont want to go back to using a regular cartridge razor. And im going to need a new strop after im over this whole getting used to stropping ordeal." So my question is- Is 2 SR's better than 1 or am I being overly obsessive and should just keep practicing with this strop and razor?
Thoughts? Opinions? Gripes? Concerns?
