Like everybody, it seems, anxious to perform mi first straight Razor shave, I purchase on the internet a razor and a strop. Disaster and frustation. I come back to this site to read more an realize that It was a non pre sharped razor. Internet US online shops again ( I live in brazil where is impossible to find equipament) to buy a 4000/8000 water stone.

Im afraid my razor is not a good one. It Is a Flamingo Ultimate Pro #150 - Solingen.

Questions:

1 - Is this razor a good one or should I buy a new one and use this to learn how to hon.
2 - Did I purchased the correct stone ?
3 - I noticed that when stroping, very light pressure, the blade do not touch the entire strop but only the borders, what sould I do ?
4 - Am I on the right way ?

Thanks
