Help! Totally new
Hello guys, brand new to the art of the straight razor. Just went to the antique store and found a Cattaraugus Green Lizard 131 C straight razor in seemingly great condition for 50$. Little to no rust, esspecially on the blade. Besides that I have a handmedown badger hair brush. I don't know where to start. I don't know what I need to get in order to start shaving. I don't think the blade is quite sharp enough to begin shaving just yet, but there are no nicks in the blade so does it need honed? I don't want to pay excessive amounts of money. What strop do I need? And with paste or not because I literally don't know. What cream do you guys recommend? Do I need a whetstone? And if so what grain? Is the Green Lizard a quality razor? Thank you guys.
