Starting Carefully in Chicago
Hey all -
I haven't even taken my first pass with a razor, and I'm already thrilled to have a resource like this.
I just bought a vintage razor off the SRP Classifieds, and I'm hunting down my grandfather's strop to use. But I'm nervous that I'm going to mess up one/both of them while I'm learning...
I had contemplated buying a Illinois 127 strop to learn on. I had also thought about making a learning strop out of some canvas or a pair of old blue jeans.
The last thing I want to do is mess up an expensive razor or an irreplaceable strop. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks Fellas!
