Thread: Hows it going from Texas.

Hello Eric,

I have three razors myself and one is a square-point like you mentioned. Using it was the first time I really cut myself; It was also the first time I had to use a styptic pencil. Fortunately neither hurt so I guess that's fine. However, that straight left me a little gun-shy and it may be a few more days before I pick it up again. Rounded toes are much more forgiving.

Even so, I'm going to use that one with the corner-edge, too. I figure it will help me with my technique and control.

Just a suggestion, you might want to buy a shave ready straight from someone here in the classifieds. That way you can be sure that you have a properly honed razor. It will give you a baseline to compare your honed razors to. You don't have to spend a lot of money and it really may be worth the effort and expense for you.

Good luck and welcome to SRP.
