My advice.
1. Send it to a respected honemiester or meet up with one from this site that has a proven track record so you know you are sharp.
2 . Buy a practice strop $15-$20 this will save your "real" strop. First then get a latigo.
3. Read everything you can on here.

Welcome to your new addiction!

I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!

now im debating if i should return my straight blade from the art of shaving and purchase one from straight Razor Designs. Hmmmmmmmm

If that is a possibility I most certainly would.

I can definitely return it. Care to help me pick a good straight razor from straight razor designs? i dont want to spend More than $170 on the razor.

I'm very happy with my "best quality" dovo it's like 80 buck. I also think they have strop and razor sets at SRD

I dont see a straight razor for that low of a price on the site

Or you could grab a set with various things combined.
