hey guys, been lurking for a while, just got a few ebay cheapies and a 4000/8000 wetstone.
I have shaved 5 times now, trying to get the edge to a nice plane and getting better each time!!!
I am a homebrewer in moorhead, MN
A few of those guys turned me on to this joint.
looking to find honing info and the likes for now..
glad to be here.
Hi lamppa,
Welcome to SRP!! Home brewer huh! I did a little of that back in the 70's and 90's. Enjoyed it, but too labor intensive for me now. Takes time from straight razor stuff. OK, OK, not really, but I do hate the bottle sterilization process.
For info on honing, here's a thread on what you might need and why.
What hone(s), paste(s), or spray(s) do I need? - Straight Razor Place Wiki
And, here's a link to gssixgun's videos on honing. YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Also you might check out the SRP wiki, Straight Razor Place Wiki - Straight Razor Place Wiki it's full of good info on straight razor shaving.
Again, Welcome, and glad to have you on the SRP forums!!
Best Regards,
Howard
