Thanked: 3795Here's a general rule of thumb to follow:
If it is a new razor that is not named Dovo, Thiers-Issard, or Boker, and is not a custom-made razor, then you should probably avoid it unless you have read recommendations for it in this forum. An example of the latter would be the Double Arrow, with reservations by some.
Perhaps it would be better to provide an "Only Buy These" list?

Hi Dario,
I never saw that razor before, hope it works.
Honing the first razor you are going to use is not a good thing at all.
That stone is good, U.S. favorit.
Yes, you can use finer grits after the 8k, but you can shave out
of the 8k. And shave well.
For learning purposes, I suggest to work only with the stone until
you can get a good edge from it. Then you can try different media.
What strop are you using? Is it flat? Perhaps you are holding it with too much strenght.
Best,
FelipeLast edited by gaucho; 07-31-2009 at 04:39 AM.
