Need to figure that out more but thinking of starting with a combo 8k/10k Naniwa. Only shaved twice so far. No cuts. Love using it. Already I'm hunting for a nice 6/8 lol. I live about 100km NW of Toronto. My other hobbies include shooting (custom built pistol and rifle),running and also a very poor guitar player lol. Love all things old school, leather bags, hand stitched brogues, custom fedoras, fountain pens etc. so straight razors are a nice addition.
Looking forward to learning lots. Family and friends think I'm crazy with a straight razor but seeing as I'm always trying to refine the edges on my Benchmade knives it's only natural for me to put an edge to my fave lol
So... Any advice on a second razor (carbon steel 6/8").
