Hi, I'm Jordan, I'm new around here, new to straights, and eagerly watching the mail for my supplies to arrive. In all of my hobbies and in my work, I often find caring for the equipment and doing some tinkering to be the best part. Once I've gotten a handle on the shaving, I'd like to start looking into doing restorations and making scales.


A quick question for those of us who are new to it all: looking around the forums, I've gotten a good idea of the basic equipment required (razor, brush, mug, soap, strop, etc.), what else do you find handy to have around? Here I'm thinking supplies for the care and cleaning, or any of those little tips that everyone develops through time ("I like to keep a little.... on hand").

Thanks,

Jordan
