Thread: OT - DE razor question.

Steve,

If you are going to soak your DE in bleach, mix it with water down to a 10% bleach solution. Bleach can and will tarnish or eat away at the finish.

It depends on the skin and your preference. You can adjust the setting to your liking

Lots of wonderful information.

However, since this is a Straight Razor forum, we don't have much in our archives about DEs (At least, not as far as I know). If you need more information than you're getting here, you can try www.shavemyface.com and the Wet Shaver's Group on MSN, http://groups.msn.com/thewetshaversgroup.

Anyway, I'll be quiet now.

I bought a strop today. Now I have to figure out when is a good time for a hospital stay.

Just remember to take your time, use small strokes, and be very mindful of the tip! In no time at all you'll be using a straight every day that you're not in a hurry.
Good Luck!

Steve,

Be sure to anchor it securely. I use a radiator hose clamp to secure my strops to the bedroom door handle.

And if you hang them on a door handle, be sure to lock the door so no one can open it while you are stropping!
