I've been str8 shaving for about 4 months. I have a moderate beard and use a Dovo and two other nice vintage blades ,maker unk. I have watched Lynns video and gotten the perscribed 4,000/8,000 Norton stones. Perhaps due to my inexperience in honing, I find I need two blades to finish the job even after honing and stropping. Yes honing every shave.
Recently I've taken to having a few swipes ,maybe 6 on a barbers hone then stroping on a pasted strop and then ,leather strop.
I find this works well and can now use only one blade. Any coments or insights?
My wish would be to hone once a month and then strop it up on the leather. At least that is what I've seen from others here.
Regardless, I will continue to use the sr8.
Thanks Al
