As I've mentioned before, baby steps for me.

First learn how to shave.

Now, I've learned about white / grey paste on the linen side of the strop, have a CroX balsa board, and a coti to refresh my razors. So far, made it as far as strop and balsa board. Going to a workshop next week to learn how to refresh blades using the coti, and when I'm proficient in that. I'll think about whether the next step is what I want to do - hone my own.

It's the journey for me, not the destination, and I'll take the path that presents itself to me when the time comes....in the meantime, it's all about the fun!
