My name is Taylor and I just started using a straight razor (albeit a disposable one to see if I actually liked it) two days ago and have already ordered 6/8" Sheffield Hollow Ground Straight Razor Taylor Witness."The 1000" off of ebay. I know it will definitely need to be professionally honed and worked over a bit (there is some minor chipping on the blade itself but very very minor). I only paid 30 shipped so I figured it was a steel.
I am already looking to find another razor (so I can keep a rotation and in case this razor isn't salvageable) but don't really know where to start. So I came the best place I could find, which is here! If you have any information or tips for me I would greatly appreciate them.

Also I do not own any strops or stones so advice on which to buy and where to buy them would be great!

Cheers,

- Taylor
