New blood, and hone questions...
first off, Happy Chrismahanukwanzaka to all.
i just started shaving with a straight blade this month. Picked up a vintage razor from Ebay, a Union Cutlery "Spike" read all the noob info even before starting, and had my first REAL shave. now i've got a strop being shipped, and i have a few questions before taking care of the blade.
First off is will i need to re-paste the strop? it's new, so i think i know the answer already...
i'm also looking at picking up a King #6000 grit and maybe a kitayama #12000 polishing stone, is that overkill?
or should i just stick with the 6000?
thanks in advance
