Thread: Hone practice

The problem with practicing is, how do you know you are practicing the right things the right way?....by shaving with it. If it's not good enough to shave with then you're wasting time and maybe reinforcing bad habits. If it is good enough to shave with then it's not really a "practice razor," is it?
As said, there are literally thousands, maybe millions out there for sale. Some of them are like plain old automobiles, say a Ford Taurus. Notexpensive, valuable or collectable, not sleek or sexy but they do their job just fine and will forever as long as you take care of it. Plenty of members here have more than they need, some have more than a major metropolitan area needs. A number of them sell on bst section, good place to look, or maybe even someone might just hook you up out of the kindness of their heart. I will say that you are well advised to take Glen's advice and learn to shave with a proper edge first, strop second, touch up/finish third and so forth back down the process. The very most difficult and also most critical part is the bevel set which comes first in the process.
