This is my first post on here, but I've been lurking for quite a while. I've been interestested in learing how to shave with a straight for quite a while and now want to take the plunge. So here goes with the questions. From what i'm reading, I need to start with a 5/8 or 6/8 with a rounded tip? Is stroping & honing easly learned? What should I look for in a strop & hone? Are there any members on here in Nashville that could give advice on stroping and honing? I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future so thanks in asvance.
