Hello,

I was reading a few posts and they were helpful so I decided to join and say hello. I just recently bought a straight razor and have had quite a bit of success shaving with it (minus some small nicks and a lot of pulling). I have yet to purchase a strop but am looking for one to buy asap!

The razor I bought is amazon.com/Tactical-Black-Straight-Razor/dp/B0104HLJ3U from Velvet Forge. I'd never heard of them but it looks cool, had great reviews, and was reasonably priced.

So far I've shaved 3 times and struggle greatly with my left hand and my chin.

Anyone had similar starting experiences? Any opinions on that razor, or advice on good strops to get? Thanks for any responses and hello all!
