Hello from Ontario Canada. New to this straight razor thing. Wanted to do it for years. So far I’m enjoying shaving with my new badger brush, mug,and sandlewood cream. Next step is to get a truly shave ready razor. Would not mind buying used from a person that knows how to properly hone and strop a blade so I know what a blade should be like. Maybe someone can recommend someone or an e bay seller? Learning lots , thanks for sharing you knowledge.
