As with all of us, I am very interested in cut throat shaving. Im a little on the cheap side, though and decided a straight blade from the antique shop would do the trick. I also bought the strope there, too. So, seeing as this blade is very old, I have to assume that it needs tons of honing. Im not sure if I have overhoned, or if I need to do some more. I have it to the point where I can easily shave a patch of hair from my leg, but when I try to shave my face it just won't work. I have read Moss's Guide to straight razor shaving several times through, and Im just plain frustraited. Any advice would be helpful!
