    Default Hello From Wyoming

    Hi I am Rick and I am new to shaving with a SR. I have three and am working on honing and sharpening with an older Strop. Lots to learn and it looks like a great time. I have only shaved twice and I must say I am terrible. Please point me in the right direction. There is lots to read here.

    Thanks.

    Hey welcome aboard!

    I have to ask, are you currently honing the same razor(s) that you're shaving with? And if not, were the razors you're shaving with professionally honed? Factory sharp and shave ready are rarely the same thing.

    Edit: you might be able to find someone nearby using the member search who could give you some one on one coaching. That would help more than any amount of reading

    Welcome. Do you have a shave ready razor to use as a standard?

    Hi Rick,

    Welcome to the forum. We are having a small meet in Denver on Jan. 14. We discuss and demonstrate all things about straight razors. Honing, stropping, shaving, and everything that goes between.

    Might be a bit of a drive for you, but you are certainly welcome.
