Hi im Anthony 40 from South Wales UK
my surname isnt 40 (that would be just plane odd) I been using a shavette for a few weeks,and bought myself a straight razor yesterday its by a company call edge burg, i know its not a dovo or other big brand,but im on a buget and if i dont get on with it i havnt lost much cash when i switch back to the shavette.
Tried to use my strop yesterday did Ok till i let my daughter have a go and she took huge chunk out of it.
So i ordered a new barbers one off ebay.
I notice on you tube some people hone in an x pattern and some a straight pattern,some use 3,4,5 stones others use 1 double sided stone or 2 stones.
Im favouring the straight pattern because im total newby what do you think ?and can you suggest what stone i could get and where from.
Thanks guys for all your info on this site
