Im very new to using a straight razor. I just purchased one from ebay. It is a Geo. H. Weyer. (Henckels) I know I shouldnt have, but my compulsivness coulnt help but do it. I have read most of the stuff for newbies, and I bought it anyway. My question is this. I have very thick hair. Not just thick as a whole, but each strand is very thick. Is there a particular grind, size, maker, or anything inparticular that can be suggested for such hair? I dont shave my whole face with a razor. I use electric clippers for most of my face, but I do use a razor for touch ups, and lining. My hair grows very low on my neck so I shave up to the top of my throat. I also shave the top of my checks, around my mouth, and around a gotte from time to time. I used the ebay purchased one. It works ok, but I think I should get it honed by a pro. I also know now from using this one. That I would prefer a smaller razor length. Well im just rambling now. I think you guys get what im talking about. Here are some pic of the one I got from ebay. By the way, I really like Bokers. I think because my dad had one years ago, and thats the only pocket knives I remember him having. I hope the pics worked right.
