Thanked: 0Newbie Question
After spending some time getting a double edge down I have been bitten by the straight razor bug. My great uncle is a barber and recently sent me three of his straight razors, his strop, and his hone. The razors are reportedly shave ready as per him, but I do have some lingering questions:
1. Are these supplies all I need in terms of getting and keeping the razor ready to go? (see pics for more details)
2. How often will I need to strop?
3. How often will the razor need honing?
4. Any advice on storage and upkeep/maintenance?
In terms of the pics, the first two razors are different and you can see the different inscriptions on the shank. I also have a dubl duck satinedge that was given to me as well.
Thanks,
Todd
