Thread: starting to look for my first razor.

I have the SRD hanging strop, but recently purchased their modular paddle strop - it's great. I think it is much easier to strop on and the ability to change the stropping surfaces is a big plus. Good luck with your new hobby!

Welcome! I just state this month as well it took me about 4 shaves with a straight razor until I got it down most of the techniques down. I am still working on my chin and just underneath my chin. Tricky area there! I found in my first couple shaves I wasn't using enough pressure and was only performing a beard reduction.. I recommend watching some of Geo fat Boy's videos on YouTube to give you some helpful hints! Best of luck and welcome to SRP !!

Congratulations and enjoy the razor!

I like the premier strop companys product. Three inches wide, fancy engraved bolts, everything replaceable. Made by the Amish. I paid about $60.00 for mine last year.
