so I have a full week to get ready.
I still need a strop. I have read where others in this forum
have used belts. Any particular width? Any suggestions on
a real strop in the future?
Also if the razor is shave ready will I need to strop it before
the first use on that up and coming Saturday? How about the
following day?
At first I will probably confine my straight edge use to the weekends
and use my DE during the week.
With luck, patience and comitment perhaps by this time next year
the DE will be semi retired.
Looking forward to getting to know you guys.
Regards,
Terry
