Hey guys, I am Adam. I am a college student who is sick of spraying goo on my face and shaving with 28 blade razors that only leave razor burn and stubble behind. I have not even had the privilege of shaving with anything else yet but my straight razor and supplies are in the mail as i type. I stumbled on this site when researching care and maintenance of my new razor. I guess I can ask the question i have here and i will post it in the right section later if i don't get an answer here.
I bought a strop as i know i need one and it comes with the leather strop as well as a canvas part. I would like to maintain my razor as long as possible without having to send it to be honed or in my case buying honing stones and learning to do it myself. But my main question is can i apply red or green paste to the canvas? or can you only apply white paste?
