Thread: Starting all over again.

I've been there. It's easy to lose some of the enthusiasm and switch to a quicker alternative. But straight shaving is an old friend, and can always be enjoyed even if you don't do it as much as you like. Whether you get back into it as an every day thing or just enjoy a special shave as often as life allows, the straight will always be there for you.

Oh, I'm back. Still think my razors need a good touch up but after concentrating on angle and pressure I'm back to a full shave with the straight and so glad to be back. While I can get a good shave with a DE quite a bit quicker it doesn't compare to the closeness and smoothness I canget with a straight when I take my time. Plus I miss the time with the straights. Something more cool about them than a fine DE. :-)

Then send your razor for honing. I just got a new Suehiro stone and both I or HNSB will do it for the price of postage only.

Just PM either one of us.

I'm going to. Headed out to WA state for a week and I'll ship them off as soon as I get back. My problem is that I love to sharpen knives so naturally I want to sharpen straights as well but obviously I'm lacking something in the technique so I'll send off 2, and keep one for playing with the hones.

Thanks everyone, it's good to be back.

How many razors have you honed olbez?

Probably 20-30 by now, why? I am not a master by any means, but so far I haven't had a razor that I couldn't hone. Although I only have quality razors.

Oh and on Gokumyo 20k I finished 6 razors. All of them got such an incredible edge...

Just curious...I always wonder when people offer honing to others. Good to hear you haven't had one you can't hone yet, I wish I could have said that when I started.
