Hi everyone. My name is Mike from Cocoa Beach, Fl.
I am very new to straight razor shaving. So new that i haven't even tried it but am excited to. I wanted to start cause i barely grow facial hair and only have to shave about once a week. My disposable razors wind up rusting before they get too dull and Ive been throwing money away for years now!
Well my cousin gave me a brand-new-in-the-box-never-been-used.....kriegar. i was gonna get it honed and start using it but then i started doing some research and i decided its not worth the money. So i bought some new(used but new to me) ones. The first is a Dovo full hollow 5/8. The other is a Le Grelot quarter hollow 3/8(i think). These razors are really clean and i got em for a good price.
The tips i need and questions i have are:
After i shave , how should i clean and store the razors? Do i just rinse them with water and put em up?
Who do you recommend for honeing? (In not gonna try to hone these till i get good at honeing my kiregar)
Any other useful tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
