I got me a grim blade straight razor 6/8 and to be honest I am getting pretty tired of having it shipped out and shipped back in for me to shave. I wanted to know how I can do it on my own! One fear of mine is not doing it properly and having my razor go to waste! I once sent it out to get it honed and to be honest I wasn't pleased since the second time I used it the blade was plucking my facial hair! Can anyone tell me what is better honing or stropping? Also what technique to use to make it razor sharp? Please and thank you
