Thanked: 1Hi all, a returning straight razor user here.
The last time I shaved with a straight razor was 1993.
I just recently got interested again. In looking for my stuff my razor was lost but cup brush and strop survive. So I purchased a razor some towels and soap to get started. My father taught me how to sharpen hone and strop but the stones he used don't seem to be fine enough. He was the type of barber that used a straight razor to trim and shave his patrons. He had his strop attached to his barber chair. How many remember those days?
It has been many years since I last used a straight razor so any advice you folks can give would be appreciated.
I am also looking for sharpening stones any direction on grit and type please let me know.
I look forward to being on this forum and chatting with you all.
