Thanked: 2Buying a Hone and a Second Razor
So, I've been using a Thiers-Issard half hollow 6/8 razor and my stropping has been improving. But, the razor has gotten to the point where it does need a touch up because I'm starting to press harder to get a close shave. I've decided this is a good time to step it up and get a second razor and a hone.
I'm considering getting a 5/8 half hollow, but before I do I have a question. Because I have a fairly thick beard would a 5/8 straight be better than another 6/8?
My plan for the hone is to get a norton 4000/8000. In my previous job one of my co-workers very lovingly got me some Pakistani razors (yes I kept them for this exact purpose) and was planning on using these to practice honing.
