I figured if I liked the experiment I would invest in some nicer stuff, like a good brush and so on.
I watched the video sixgun posted about sharpening and tried to hone my razor again, but I am not confident it is good enough. I emailed Lynn about sharpening my razor for me. I think it's good to remove some of the variables at this point.
I did try to stretch my skin, but it wasn't easy- it is a lot to try and manage all at once. And especially to try and do it all backwards in the mirror!
Any recommendations on a shaving strop?
Thanks,
