over the summer I got taken over Ebay for a zeepk, tried it, talked to some people, got the lowdown on how hideous it really was. I recently bought a Genco razor from JoshEarl, when it arrives I'd like to start getting things ready so that I could shave with it. What kinds of waterstones do you folks reccomend? I hear a lot about a Norton 4000/8000 waterstone. There's a Lee Valley close to where I live so I could get one from them. The only problem is Strops, where could I get a decent strop for a decent price. I'm a university student, so I don't have a lot of cash to throw around. Any good shops online? Will I need strop paste or does that matter? There is a barbershop here in my town that used to offer, not sure if they still offer, straight razor shaves, I plan on taking the razor into them when I get it and asking them about it.
Thanks,
