Thread: New guy introduction

Welcome to the forum. Master the shave and stropping first. Honeing comes later. Buying a series of stones can be costly. If you only have one or two razors it is not economical. You may only need a 12k for refreshing the edge. I use Theirs Issard strop paste from The Art of Shaving on the canvas Strop. I Strop on canvas first and finish on leather. The paste helps maintain the edge and improves it some so long as your strop technique is good.

Enjoy the ride and ask questions. There is no dumb question.
