Good afternoon gentlemen.
New member here from Texas.
25 years old, been shaving with a straight razor for two years now, but I have not been able to do my own honing. I love the entire shave process, and now that I've got my own stones I HOPE to get better at honing and re-sharpening my blade as my first attempt was a failure. I only wish I found this forum sooner.
I am also terrible at stropping, it seems to me each time I strop, I actually get the blade more dull :\ I guess I need more work behind the scenes, I'm great on stage though :)
