Thread: And another noob ^_^

Thanks all. I will try that then. I need to learn to use my left hand cause I am pretty unskilled with left. I also had to order a new shaving soap because the one I have is great but not Santa enough for me. Any thoughts of my blade I got?
Oh, is there honing stones available on Amazon? I was looking but only find industrial ones and I am not sure what to use there.
Also, I kinda got the the linen is for the pre-stroping and the leather one is to make the final touch?

Welcome to SRP ! Look at the tool bar at the top of the page and click on the SRP Wiki. Go to tutorials and you'll find hours of interesting reading from the basics to advanced. Smooth shaving.

One thing that helped me when I was new to shaving was someone mentioned to touch your blade to your face like you are doing touch and goes on an aircraft carrier. Use a light touch and keep the razor moving. After a few shaves your left hand will get the idea of what it's doing. The blade angle is another thing that will come with practice. I hope your blade is sharp. It is easier to cut yourself with a dull blade than a sharp one. Keep going.
