Im a new guy here getting into the use of straights, im just sick of the gillette scaping me up, anyways i reciently purchased a nice Borke, and want any advise on getting a strop , should i start with a chaper one or not? Also my straight is honed and ready, how long will it last before i need honed again, i shave about 3 times a week. I've been doing some reading , is the paste stoping the way to go after awhile? Anyway, any advise or insight from u guys would be apprecited to help me out thanks!
