Hey guys my name is Chase. Im new here but have always looked over these forums for help. Great place! Ive shaved with a DE razor all my life and just today my SRD (great company by the way) Boker straight razor showed up. Obviously Im pumped. I have about a day and a half growth so i figure my beard is not to long and would be a good place to try out shaving with a straight razor. I do my usual prep dad taught me a long time ago, which is my shower to get everything moist and clean, then my preshave, then lather with brush and so on. But while i was letting my preshave set in I stropped my SRD boker, which was shave ready, i did 20 laps on Webbing and then 40 laps on latigo leather. just a light strop so i thought. my technique is obviously not perfect, but i did concentrate and stropped the way many others have told me too. Now i dont know if that me stopping my already shave ready razor or what it was but it pulled like hell. I guess im looking for advice or if i did mess up the blade how could i tell? how could i fix it? do i really need to send it back to get it re honed? Please help me cause i do love shaving and always have treated it like an art even with a DE razor. Thank you guys so much and any help is appreciated.
