Need suggestion on deciding what to get
Hi, relatively new here. Really enjoy reading and learning from experiences others have posted. Now I need some help deciding on my next purchase. Here is what I currently have:
- DMT 600/1200
- King 6000 (and a nagura stone)
- Chrome Oxide (probably not with high purity since I bought it from woodcraft)
- a high quality 3" hanging strop
My main issue is that even though I could get BBS sometime, it's not without irritation and I can't do that daily without turning the enjoyable experience into a painful one. I know there is probably much to improve in my shaving skills but at least I would like to get the hardware right and have it out of the way.
My goal is to get consistent BBS daily shave without (much)irritation, I currently own only 2 straight razors, one is a J.A Henckles I got off ebay and honed myself using the above setup and achieved BBS shave(with some irritation), the other is a DOVO ENCINA 6/8 Stainless from SRD. I probably will acquire few more razor and would like to do my own honing, so I think it's worth it to invest in a more refined honing kit.
Please feel free to elaborate or add any new suggestions. thanks!
