well i guess i am still a newb so that is why i posted here. i have no questions. only posted to say thank you to all the guys who answered all the questions i had i the beginning. i have been straight shaving for about five months now, and honing the razors myself the entire time. I now have great edges on three blades that perform wonderfully. that would not be the case if i had not found this site. gettig great shaves on a daily basis now. THANK ALL OF YOU!!!!!!
Oh and good luck to everyone who is just now coming into this world or currently facing difficulty. be patient and give it time it will come to you
