Hello all! I have been lurking and reading alot. Started awhile back with a brush and soap instead of canned cream. I found out I was doing it all wrong by looking around on this site! Started with a str8 a couple of weeks ago. It has gone good so far. Sometimes I get a slash to the ear or forget that lateral movement of the blade while pressed to flesh produces pink lather! My septic (tic) pencil gets a work out. I have also tried to hone a couple of my antique store treasures. Not quite as smooth feeling as the ones I sent away, but I am working on it. I also have a three row Swaty( I think that's what it's called) that seemed to help smooth up my first tries at honing. They shave pretty good. Just have to convince the wife that I need at least two more so I can have seven razors in my rotation. One for each day. Then I will have to find a way to convince her that I will need more!
Lots of fun and informational reading on this site. Very glad I found it.
