Hello
From someone who regarded shaving as a daily chore to a fully committed enthusiast after discovering the straight razor experience.
Been using a straight razor for a few months now with confidence although honing I have yet to master, so will be looking for some advice in the near future.

Hello, jr57. Welcome to Straight Razor Place!

Hi and welcome. Any questions feel free to ask.

Welcome!
I too have made the chore/delight transition. I used to shave once, maybe twice a week. Now it's a pleasurable way to begin my day.

Here,here. Welcome Jr57. Not to worry, the art of honing is a daunting task, but one that can be learned. Continue shaving and master the muscle memory. Honing will come naturally with time.

Glad you joined. Lots o learn from the members and the Library. Based on many, many members experience I would suggest that you put off wanting to learn to hone for as long as possible. Concentrate on developing a good stropping technique and finesse you shaving skills. Can take longer than you think. On average, I would say, waiting about ten months before investigating honing from bevel to shave ready. In the interim investigate learning to upkeep your razor's edge on a barber's hone or a 12k synthetic stone. ANd do ask questions.
