Shaving on the cheap.....
Now then folks,
I'll start by telling you what I have, and then hopefully some people will chime in and tell me what I need. Please bear in mind I am in england and you yanks get quality stuff so much cheaper than here.
2 x Sanguine razors, for months all I had was these and pasted balsa strops and it pulled but it worked.
1 x Wapi, if anyone can tell me what SFK means or the significance of the stamp please do.
1 x Homemade leather strop
1 x Dovo Strop
1 x Set of homemade pasted balsa strops, 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0 micron.
I want a good shave with no frills, for as cheap as possible.
I think the only thing I am missing at present is a sharpening stone, how far can stropping compensate for this? Is there any way round getting a norton 4k/8k + flattening stone?
I also have what Norton call a fine india stone (grit estimations anyone), is this any use anywhere along the line.
Please all input would be appreciated.
Cheers
David
