Always something new to learn and teach!

I would welcome another get together, AND a chance to get in some honing practice with you and Str8Shooter.

Howdy!
I'm up for another get together.

Well! let's go to Texas! http://straightrazorpalace.com/get-t...ml#post1143132

Welcome Joshua!!

Welcome Joshua. I'm in Houston too, but have no experience to offer but how to complete a barely socially acceptable straight shave. I have less than a couple dozen shaves under my belt and am still way better with the DE.

Please include me when you do get together in Houston though. My first ebay razor arrived in the mail today and I'm itching to learn what to do with it.

Welcome to SRP! I'm in the same boat with my wife. I too am getting pretty good shaves but am still struggling with razor burn. I think as a newbie I dulled my razor pretty quickly. I tried to touch up mine on a chinese 12k and then CrOx on the linen strop. My shaves got better after that. I took the advice on this forum and went ahead and ordered a 2nd shave ready razor from SRP to use as a reference point while I learn to hone. I will practice on my first one and probably have the 2nd one professionally honed when it needs it so I'll always have that reference point. I know what you mean about being strapped for cash though. Good luck!
