girlfriend bought me a straight razor for christmas...
hey im obviously a newb with a few questions any help would be much appreciated
1. must i hone my blade before i shave or can i just strop it?.
2. i bought a strop today. oil came with it. do i oil my blade or the leather of the strop?.
3. where can i get a good price on a good honing stone?.
4. im impatient and tried to shave today before i knew that my shave ready blade wasnt shave ready, or about honing and stropping before shaving, have i caused any irepreble damage to my blade?.
5. now that ive shaved (kinda but not really) can the razor not shave anything else for 24 hours??.
6. if i cant shave with the blade for 24 hours after using it, why can i strop right after?.
thanks in advance
she got me a colonel conk made in solingen west germany. if that helps, or if you just wanted to know.
