Razor Care Between Shaves
Hi, Everybody. I am new to SRP. I tried to restore two straight razors. One was probably made in Pakistan, the other was an antique Boker. The Boker was handmade and ground.The spine and edge could not be brought in one plane even though I tried to create new bevels etc. So all that was in the end waste of time. Now I shave with a Dovo 6/8 half hollow ground and am enjoying it though it does take longer than the conventional shaving methods. The new Dovo came shave ready but not really very sharp. I used newsprint with chromium oxide to do about 20 laps which was a great improvement. I am fixing to buy more straight razors but meanwhile here is a question. Do I need to let the razor rest 24-48 hours, then strop it over linen and leather (50 and 100 laps respectively) between shaves?
