Thanked: 0Strop or Hone?
Hi guys first time posting here and I have a little query. I have acquired 3 Razors in an eBay lot. A fine Joseph Rogers and Sons 5/8 Wedge, an AMA Solingen 5/8 Half ground and a Carrera that's a bit smaller than both.
None are Shave ready and they're my first razors, my questions are should I send them off to be professionally honed and start with decent shaving edges or continue to try to bring them back with stropping? How do I work out when an edge can't be achieved with stropping alone? How many laps are too many?
Thanks in advance of your expertise.
