I am looking at purchasing the 5/8 full hollow boker edelweiss straight razor.
I've been shaving with the dovo shavette for a while and I like shaving with
a straight razor. I actually enjoy getting up in morning and going though the routine.
I have read that starting out with a carbon steel razor and taking care of it
is demanding however, you put into it what you get out of it. I want to get a
good strop and possibly a paddle style for this razor. what would be a good one for this razor. will I need oil/honing or lapping compound with it to take care of
it. and how and when should I use this stuff. What about sanitizers., would are this be recommended.
also, first time on forum.
