Thanked: 3215Welcome, your local barbers may be a source for razors and honing stones, strops and information. In countries where straight razor shaving is still allowed, and even if not, straight razors were common barber tools, and are probably plentiful and horded by old barbers.
At the very least they can provide you some good instruction and point you to where you can locate what you need.
Stropping is the most important skill needed to properly maintain a razor, you don’t need a high dollar strop, though one can produce a lifetime of shaving edges.

Welcome to SRP. Glad to have ya in the group. Learning to shave can take time. 100 shaves in you will find your starting to understand. So keep at it. A professionally honed razor is the best way to learn to shave. So see if anyone in your area can hone for you for the first year before you start to think about honing. You have a 10k stone so that will work to touch up your edge when it needs it. A lapping plate is good to have when you start buying stones or restoring razors. Just go slow.
It's just Sharpening, right?
