Ready to try a straight shave.
Hello all,
I am new here. I have been wet shaving for a few months, and am ready to make the transition to a straight razor. I am planning to purchase a high quality, shave ready razor in the next couple weeks.
I am also determined to learn to hone myself. I purchased a vintage Torrey razor on Ebay. I plan to use the Torrey to learn how to hone only for now. I an a woodworker and have quite a few Norton waterstones up to 8000 grit. Looks like I will need to pick up a 12000 to completely hone.
I plan to learn with the professionally honed razor only. It will give me a benchmark for when my honing technique is up to par.
Anyway this is a great site. Looking forward to learning to my first straight shave.
Ron
