Hello from new guy
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2016 1:47 pm
Hello folks,
I just joined this forum and this is my 1st post. Although new to this group I have been straight razor shaving and honing for many years. I like any razor with a proper edge from 3/8 - 7/8. I've never had a 8/8 but I'm sure they are fine too. I do prefer full and extra full hollow. I hone on Coticules, Jnats and film. My finishing strop is usually a Kanayama but I use several strops in progression before and after. I've never found much use for pastes since I like to hone so much. Most razors touch a finishing stone at least every 4 shaves. I guess I just like fresh steel.
I look forward to joining in the conversation.
