Just bought my first "big boy" straight razor
After experimenting with a cheap straight razor that my father bought me for Christmas (didn't have a name brand on it) I took the plunge tonight and took advantage of the SRP straight razor and strop combination set. Bought a Ralf Aust 5/8 with with a 3" red lattigo strop with matched webbing on the back.
I'm excited but nervous. I already had to have my first razor rehoned after messing up the stropping on it. I still struggle with it, but I'm thinking I may set the Ralf Aust aside and try my cheaper razor on the new strop and see how that does. The strop I currently have is very cheap (came as part of a set).
Wish me luck. The addiction is already starting. I'm already plotting my next buy.
