Bought my first real straight razor... Any tips for me?
So I went and bought my 1st big boy blade. I own a few shavettes that I shave with and use in my barbershop as well and I can pretty much close my eyes and swipe away without thought and no nicks/cuts or burns. But my curiousity and the threads on SRP motivated me to by a "real" blade.
For now I will have the cutley shop hone it when needed for me but eventually I would love to be able to do it myself. Since this is my 1st blade I was hoping you all could leave me ANY tips or advice on maintanence, sharpening etc. Any info is helpful. Also, my razor is a Thiers-Issard Taos 5/8 bocote, did I make a good choice?
I have been reading through all the threads and there is great info. Thanks.
