What do we really need to start?
Hey guys!
I'm new to the forum and the straight shaving experience...before you jump all over me and tell me to read the stickies, I have and I'm still confused.
like everyone here I want to start straight shaving but still have a few specific questions I hope you guys can help with.
1) I know you need to get razors and I'm planning to get 2, but they seem so expensive, are there certain razors I should get and don't cost an arm and a leg. I know they're investment and I do want to start collecting, once I get good shaving, but I want to learn to strop properly first.
2) Can I use normal shaving cream, ie. Gillette?
3) how can I tell a good strop from a bad one? What are good ones to start with??
Thanks!
