First full SR shave today. I previously only tried one side just on cheek area. While it wasn't the greatest shave, no nicks. Even with my old Mach-4-Whatever, i'd usually get a couple of nicks.
I used a Bluesteel 11/16 square point. I have a feeling hones and strops are going to be next.
I was looking at what I would start with for maintenance honing. I was thinking a 4000/8000 Norton. Then either something like a 16000 and/or a pasted strop? Then finish with a plain canvas/leather strop. I know everyone has their favorite hone/strop method, but looking for a consensus on something decent to start with.
I have to say, of all of the forums I frequent for my different interests, this is one of the friendliest. With some of the other forums a common reply to beginner's questions are "search the forum first, that question has been asked 1,000 times!". Here everyone doesn't mind answering the same old newbie questions. Thanks!
