One months I have been shaving with a straight with spectacular results.

Visit to an old barber of 75 years to 50 miles from where I live and I like honing formerly taught.

The barbershop was spectacular 200 years old. I teach coticules very old, many straights, various useful ...

The method has no mystery. The hard work is done and hone conticuacion is fined with pasta.

This method was taught by his father and his father was taught by his grandfather.

I have made a small variation of the method using hone and ending with diamond pastes and the result is ... Spectacular.

The use strops prepastet wicth 4 or 5 strokes before stroping and next... STROPING IN PALM HAND.

I now use a piece of balsa with pasta red dovo and after stroping in palm hand "do not use my strop, palm hand only" and took a straight month and has not lost sharpness.


I want to thank all those who have helped me with their advice and, above all, Firestar and LX_emergency by honing my straight and know how to wing sharpness is a hone. I believe that continuing with pastes gives a much greater sharpness.

Thank you all and happy shavings
