The ch12k is brill for price and does great job in maintaining razors edge . i recomended my mate to do 50 laps every 7 shaves .. Its kept his razor going for months... the strop is basic leather and once stropping is bang on i recomended he buy a more expensive strop , and thats just what he is going to do... the point is using a staright with a custom strop a set of good hones from 1k to 12k and a couple of nice razors will save you in the long run.... And its makes shaving a whole lot more fun and somthing to look forward too.
my other mate has one dovo cotton leather strop a entry level very good quality razor from steve and he has never looked back....
Do u need every grit from 1k to 12k to obtain the right edge?
