    Default Hello From Central FL

    Hi,
    Wanted to drop by to say hello and introduce myself.
    I have been wet shaving for several year now. However, I am new to the world of straight razor shaving. A few mos. ago I bought myself a Filamonica razor at a flea market in Barcelona. That started my journey. I am going slow, and finish all my shaves with a SE razor (Mongoose or GEM). Hope to get to a point where I can start and finish with my straight. Thanks Harry

    “Engine46” thanks for the info. Yea, I am on my second strop. I had some light cuts on my first strop but only on the side of the strop (right side high end furtherest end out. and not in the middle). I am not sure what that means? Thanks for the references. Harry

    Cuts at the ends where you flip usually means you haven't come to a complete stop in that direction before the flip
