Hello fellow shavers,
my straight razor arrived today (nothing out of the ordinary, one of the cheapest actually) and I tried it for the first time. I didn't cut myself and I have mixed feelings about it since I have a chinstrap and a straight razor is not the best forming tool but I'm going to remove it presently so in a while I'll be able to fully appreciate my first real SR shaving.
Anyway - I'm poor and only have enough money to buy one hone (I reckon that a strop will do in the mean time, not more than a month). Should this be a 6K or 12K? Or are a least 2 hones essential for a good shave
