Building up a starter kit
Hey all, I started straight shaving about a month ago with a 51 Biedermeier frome H Eicker and Söhne that I found at an antique shop. I have an old horse hide strop and a broken pike stone(but I still manage to get a shaveable edge out of it). Reason for the old strop and hone is out here in Edmonton, I havnt been able to find a place that sells equipment. Ive wanted to ask, what's your opinions on the Eicker razors? I now own three. And I'm wondering if norton combination 4k and 8k stones are a good beginner hone? I've manage to find one wood working tool outlet that sells those along with diamond paste( this I would also like to know your opinions on)
