To Anyone that can help me. Though I am not new to shaving with a straight razor I am new to this site. I am having a few problem that I hope someone can help me with. I have three razors that I can't seem to keep a sharp edge on them. The three razors are Dovo Solingen 1561 Made in Germany, Puma 89 Special made in Germany and finally Hoffritz also made in Germany. Which razor is the best, next best and the worst. I have a two piece barber strop not sure which one to when and how often. I also have a hand held strop with two sides one is green and the other which appears to be a reddish brown leather. I am not sure which side does what and when to use them. Need help in getting them really sharp and how to keep them that way. I have a stone from Germany which does not use oil only water and is no longer even, however I do manage some how to get an edge on one razor to get a some what decent shave. One of the three razors has a broken handle which I would like to get replaced or fixed. I have given you my problems please someone help me solve and correct them. I hope I am typing this in the correct place, if not some please tell me where to type this information. Thank you for your time.
