First I bought a non presharpened razor, them I read the wiki, then I bought a Stone, then I realize I should do the lapping, then I realize my strop simply do not touch the blade but only on the sides, then I realize my straight razor is not exactly straight so I will never achieve a bevel, then I bought another razor that Im stil waiting for, because I live in Brazil and all this stuf I need to buy bye internet and takes weeks to arrive. Two months went away and I couldnt perform my first straight razor shave yet. I wil not give up but now I can understand why do the humanity have choosen the Gilette !
Some words of hope Will be good.
