Merry Christmas to you to Glenn, and to all the rest of you fine gentlemen! Fantastic posts as always.
Great post thanks for the tips. its much appreciated that so many people here take so much time to help so much.
A great bunch of tips this month! I would encourage every beginner to take gssixgun's stropping recommendation especially to heart. Careful stropping is really what turns a straight razor from a thin sharp knife to an excellent shaving tool. It can stretch the time between honings from weeks to months (or years).
I started drying the blade THOROUGHLY, running a towel between the scales and then hitting the pivot with WD40 before putting it away since it's a water repellant....hoping that works out :)
Ps, Gs speaks wisdom about NO Pressure, I kept getting razor burn and realized I was without realizing it increasing pressure when I encountered hard to get smooth areas, lighter pressure *(AKA no pressure) and shorter strokes seems to help me here
