Thread: Hello all

It is worth hanging on to for later. Getting one honed is not a terrible price tag. It is best to learn to shave and then after you are good at that, learn to hone. There are often shave ready razors in the classifieds that are great beginner razors. Not too pricey and shave ready. You may want to look for a good strop too. If you can find one with a replaceable leather, it will come in handy when you carve it up learning to strop. Most guys put two or three nicks in their first strop. Most of the better brands offer replacement leather. There is Straight Razor Designs and Whipped Dog and Star Shaving that have a good lines of inexpensive strop.
