Thread: Funniest Newbie Mistakes

OK I'll give it up, We gotta go all the way back to 1981, when after my first straight razor shave from my Barber, I rushed over to a place called the "Naked Edge" and purchased my first straight razor a Illinois strop and the finest waterstone available just like David (the barber) told me....
Getting up the next morning I started stropping, hey I had watched David, I could do that, so I'm stropping up a storm, snapping the leather, I was Soooooooo Cool until I tried to shave,,,,,, Yep rolling the razor on the edge instead of the spine was not so smart, hey I missed watching that part
Later that day David kinda taught me how things were really done
It would have been great having something like SRP available back then
