Thread: Hello from a 'new shaver'!

Good day,
I am glad you are/have finding/found your feet.
I have a couple of Welsh slate hones, they are available from eBay, and now seem to come as a three pack, I find them ok, though I don't have a great deal of experience. The only complaint I have is that they are quite small, so if I were buying them again I would buy the widest ones (well at least 3"/75mm) anyway as this is the same width as a razor, and will make learning that bit easier.
As Laurens says a synthetic is more predictable, I also have a naniwa 10k stone.
I am finding it hardest to resist buying shaving creams as they are nice and affordable, so I don't need to feel too guilty about it.
I don't know how easy the paste will be to get off, I don't use pastes but I understand that it is a bit of work to de-paste a strop.
Where abouts in the UK are you? There may be someone close by who might be able.to offer some personal assistance.
All the best
Ed
