Thread: Hi. I'm new to this

Hi TC, don't get me wrong. I VALUE your advice and indeed, welcome it. I am learning shave technique and I'm much improved. I also have an old razor that I love the look of and want it to be as good to shave with as the professionally honed razors that I use. Therefore I also need to learn how to hone. I think learning new skills is some thing to be valued so any help I can get along the way is much appreciated. Sometimes though my inquisitive nature wont allow me to accept advice on face value, no matter how good or well meant it is. This does not, of course , devalue the advice or the manner in which it is freely given. So, once again, a big "thank you" to you and the other learned members who have freely offered their advice. I appreciate it.

stubru,
1- can you maintain a straight with a strop ?
if yes,
2- Are you trying to hone , shave , or both
if both ,
the answer to question 1 should be yes, if not than you need to learn that first
if the answer to question 1 is yes, than Do you know how to shave with a straight? if the answer is no , than you should learn that before trying to hone one.
if the answer is yes, than continue on to learning how to hone.
I have reiterated the process and general guidelines on shaving and honing
it's greate that you want to learn it, just realize that trying to learn it all at once is not the best way to do it, it will take way to long.

whoever
1. yes
2. Hone
3 lost count. lol
I can shave 3 pass, BBM smooth. No cuts. No razor burn.
All Im trying to do is get an old razor a sharp as my professionally honed blades, which I achieved last night. Thanks to the advice from forum members.
