Hey Everyone.

I am just beginning this hobby. Straight razors have interested me a very long time now, I just never made the jump from my M3Turbo.

My wife finally said I could invest in some things, so I have two blades on the way (1 eBay cheapo for stropping/honing practice and 1 Geneva), a strop, and of course a brush and soap. Hopefully soon, I can invest further into some hones/stones and other equipment for sharpening.

I've done a good amount of research on equipment, technique, etc. However, if someone could point me to a good resource that explains paste, what it does, and how to use it, I would greatly appreciate it. I tried searching the forum, but didn't find much help.

Any other advice is welcome, and I'm extremely excited to jump into this hobby!
