I just ordered a straight razor set from vintagebladesLLC. I figured if I'm going to do this I should do it right so I'm getting a strop, brush, soap, and Dovo carbon steel straight. (I think I read that carbon steels are easier to sharpen than stainless steel but also rust easier. Is that correct?) I also ordered the Castle Forbes soap from classicshaving.com because I've read all the good reviews. Spent more money than I originally planned but I think it will be worth it.
Can someone give me advice regarding how to prevent rust spots on the blade? Any other tips for keeping things in good condition are appreciated.
Thanks!
