Hey, my name is Terry and I am new to straight razor shaving. I have been using a straight razor now for just over a week. Other than a few nicks it's been going pretty well except that I have been getting razor burn more than I ever did while using disposable cartridges. I am in the Navy and have to shave everyday for uniform standards. I was just wondering if anyone else here has had the same problem and if so what you can recomend. Also, I ordered my razor from classicshaving.com professionaly honed so I wont have to tackle that just yet, but I would love it if someone could give me a basic rundown of everything I will need to get started with honing my own razors when I do get to that hurdle. Thanks for any help you can give me and I am very glad to be here.
