Hey guys, name is Adrian and I've been shaving with a disposible straight blade for a while. Wanted to switch over to real thing so bought a vintage blade. Bought myself the sharpening stone and the strop but nothing I do works.

Girlfriend then gets me this AP Donovan blade which was nice at first but then got dull after a couple of shaves. Again I cant seem to fix it on my own. Since then the blade now look nasty as it has collected some spot and some rust on the tip of the tang.

Can't seem to find anyone in SFL who hones and sharpens. My barbers doesn't know anyone either.

Can someone help? Feel bad my girl got me a thoughtful gift that I like and I cant use.

Thanks.

Adrian
