    Welcome to SRP. How long have you been using your straights?

    Oh, and what razors do you have in your set?

    Almost 4 months. It's a special razor because when I ordered it I was feeling fine, but when I received it a few days later I was in a lot of physical pain. It was very hard to walk and stuff. I'm still healing today, it's been almost 4 months that I've been dealing with this injury. During that whole time I was learning how to use and strop my razor. It has been very fun using it during this difficult time.

    I only have 1 straight. What I meant is that I have a:
    Straight Razor
    Sheath
    Strop
    Hone
    Lapping Hone
    Pasted Strop
    Blade Oil
    Maas

    Thank You. It worked out good because I was able to learn how to strop correctly while sitting down. I wasn't able to shave with it much because it hurt standing in one spot. Now I'm almost all healed and it's a ton easier to walk and stand in one spot.
