I wanna do everything right away (everything reguarding honing/stropping)
Hey guys. So I'm new to straight razor shaving and I i just got one of those Dovo Best Quality blades. I don't think its shave ready because although it's sharp it doesn't glide through and tugs (I've been a DE shaver for a while now so I do know what a single blade is supposed to feel like).
I really don't want to send it out to be honed because I really want to learn to do everything myself. I guess my question is, could you guys give me your rules of thumb, processes, techniques, crash courses, and/or links to other threads regarding the basics of honing/stropping and maintaining a shave ready edge? I know it's not something you learn to do over night, but I am willing to put in as much practice as it takes. :)
I shall be reading and searching for more threads on the topic as well but I appreciate any and all posts you guys leave here to help me.
Thanks and keep on shaving :rock:
