Thread: finally have guts enough

Thanks for the advice TC. Oh, it's sharp, stropping was just to touch it up. It's the actual act of shaving with a straight I've got to get use to. Practice, practice and more practice, with minimal amount of blood loss as possible.

When I was in the Navy and short on cash for blades I would sharpen my pocket knife (various stones, then home made strops, fire hose and leather) and shave with it, people would always pay for me to sharpen theirs after witnessing this. Crowded bathrooms and rolling seas were my enemy.
