    Default Making sure I have the right set up...

    I was looking to purchase the full straight razor set, and I want to make sure I do it right

    Things I plan to buy;
    -straight razor (obviously)
    -strop (leather and fabric)
    -chromium oxide (to be applied to one side of the fabric part of the strop)
    -Norton 4k/8k combo stone

    I do not plan on doing any razor restoration, I just want to be able to maintain my razors. I know everybody has their own way of doing this, I was just wondering if the materials I listed would be sufficient for maintaining a straight razor?
    (The leather and fabric strop before every use, the chromium oxide if the razor starts to get a little dull, the 8k stone every few months and the 4k stone in case things go wrong)
