Thanked: 1Help with My Kropp Razor
Hiya.
I've been shaving with a straight razor that uses half a disposable razor blade for about eight years now. I have been living in New Delhi for the past 4 years. I take a shave from a roadside barber about once a week that includes an invigorating head massage, but more on that in a later post. I need help:
I bought a Kropp razor on ebayUK form a guy that cleared out his 90 year old dad's attic and found a bagful of razors. The one I bought was never used and is in excellent condition. However I have yet to shave with it. I gave it the forearm test and then stropped it with a new cheap stop (again ebay). I spent a considerable amount of time and attention on it, but when I try stroke on my cheek, it does not feel razor sharp(pardon the pun). What can I do? I do not have appropriate graded honing stones. Just one in my cutlery drawer for knives. I cannot send it to a honing master here in India as I don't know or am not willing to trust them with me Kropp. Any pointers would be muchly appreciated.
regards
Buji
