Hi. I've been using shavettes for a couple of years & really enjoy shaving this way. My in-laws mistakenly thought I use a straight & gave me a strop for Christmas. So I'm going to go the whole hog & get a quality straight & hone for my birthday in a couple of months.
My question is, in the meantime, would it be good to get a cheap ebay razor to practice on the strop?
(&, of course, any other advice on which razor or hone to purchase would be great). Thanks
