    Default Hello, New Straight Razor user

    Hi All, I have just joined, and am new to the world of straight razors, I have two, a Hamburg Ring, and a Gotta, I have had several shaves with the Hamburg Ring with quite good results, but am still getting to grips with my technique, I am looking forward to improving my knowledge on Honing, Stropping, and other aspects of straight razors, and more importantly having conversations with some of you!!!!

    You came to the right place. Biggest assist with my technique came with watching videos. I would pick something things up the more I watched them and finally got it down.

    Stropping:

    Honing:

    Those are your basics. If you want a panorama of everything involved in straight razor shaving, this DVD makes everything look doable: World Of Straight Razor DVD - Straight Razor Place Classifieds.
