Hi, I'm Kevin. I am from west Virginia. I started off with a shavette, then after using it for a while, I decided to move up the ladder and got a straight razor. I'd say I've probably been using a straight for a couple of years now. I have also done some honing, I'm definitely going to say I'm a beginner at honing. I welcome any and all tips and any help anyone would like to offer. I consider straight razor shaving to be a hobby as well as and addiction. Thanks for having me. Kevin
Welcome Kevin @Kevinwine85! Glad you joined us here at TSD. As a new member you can sign up for The Newbie Giveaway. Read the rules to be sure you qualify. My experience followed much the same path until I got to honing SR. There are plenty of folks that hone their own, but so far I'm not one of them. Check out the Straight Razor forum. Friendly folks will offer advice, opinions, even actual information!
High their @Kevinwine85 from North Cackalacky. I can't be any help to you about honing. I leave that to the honemeisters. However, I am glad you have joined our little group.
