Welcome aboard.!

I'm with them. ^ I started with a straight when I was 17. I'd already had experience with honing all sorts of edged tools n knives, starting at around 8 years old. So honing a razor seemed like it should be a piece of cake. Ha! It takes the whole cake, a gallon of ice cream, a few cavities, and a bald patch or two on your head, getting it dialed in.

And that's just setting a proper bevel.

Gonna need to learn anyhoo, so any thing we can do to help with, were here for ya. You might even like to learn how to restore your own razors, that's what I came here for. Got perty dang good at it too, for being done by hand, mostly. ( limited tools )

Creating your first shaving edge is very rewarding, indeed. But bringing one back from the dead....A indescribable feeling of accomplishment, of what most people would think of as, impossible. That's me.!
