    If you have not tried it yet, you will find that sharpening razors is quite different from sharpening knives. Both are worthy endeavors!

    Welcome to this forum and feel free to ask any questions. Have you used a straight razor yet?

    I know that, so i bought some stones for razor sharpening. Still waiting for them to arrive...
    I'm using it for about...two weeks.
    No major cuts so far[emoji5]

    Welcome, Milan! All is forgiven!
    1st step is to acquire a truly shave-ready razor for learning to shave as well as to have a benchmark for your honing.
    Some of your current hones might be satisfactory. What do you have?
    OH! you need a strop, of course!

    Strop has been found, a friend of mine made it. He is also a member here.

    It looks like you are off to a great start.
