Thread: horrible first straight razor shave experience

Glad the razors I sent all arrived. If nothing else, use the shavette as a backup for while you're learning to strop. I had to send mine for honing (to @cudarunner) after a pretty short period of time while I was learning because my stropping wasn't good enough to maintain. I used to get around 30 days between honings when I started, now I'm up to almost 3 months with my most recent.
