    Let us know about the razors you purchased. Make, model, ...honed?

    the first one that I bought is from capital cutlery it seems like a pretty nice good sturdy one and from what i read will be good to learn on the strop and the other one is not in yet I was wondering if there are any stores I can go to that would have shave brushed I went to CVS and Walgreens and bought soap and a styptic pencil because I know I will need it btw is there any straight razor users here in the knoxville area would love to chat

    Welcome to SRP
    Name of the blade will help us a little more.
