Re: Noob needs help with tiny nick repair
Hey Danny
I'm real new myself so you may not want to go by me but I agree I think you should send it out to someone and get it back real fast! It will be in perfect condition and you don't have to go through those hassles. If you do choose to go the honing route yourself there are tons of videos on this site and on YouTube that show you how to do it step by step. Ignore the snarky responses- I do. It's aggravating and frustrating but whatever...
Just my 2 cents for what its worth!
Noob needs help with tiny nick repair
Probably one of the few here who's gramps shaved with a straight(he was born in the 1870's), from reading about those times I've found while most males had their own razors, most of them went to the barbers for a shave.
If you're going to use a straight everyday it's best to have more than one, or even easier and cheaper a Parker-like Shavette to use if your straight goes dull.
