Recently started wet shaving and wish I had done this years ago. What a great experience. But also the community built around it. You guys are awesome. Since I'm new I don't have much yet just a silver tip badger, Boker Radium, strop, but have the Naniwa 5k, 8k, and 12k on the way from Lynn. Today I picked up two razors from the antique shop which are very dull which prompted the purchase of the stones. I am a big fan of learning and then trying to do things on my own (I have messed up a lot as well). So hopefully once the stones arrive I can get them sharp and enjoy a good shave. And I'm sure I will have a ton of questions along the way.
