Thank you everyone.

I just want to say thanks for all the advice and encouragement, getting started in straights. It's only been a few weeks, but in that time, through various videos, member advise, and personal member experiences posted, I have now 4 legitimate "Shave Ready" vintage straights. Three were hopelessly dull, and had nics on the blades. One had a tiny crack. One was supposedly shave ready, but wasn't, oh well. All helped me learn.
I've learned to set a bevel, and hone, with one stone(#3000/#8000). I've also learned how to properly use a strop.
Thanks guys.

 

That's great! There's so much knowledge on this site and everyone is willing to share it.

 

Congratulations on having a good set of straights! I join you in my appreciation towards everyone here at the Den! And I love how the SR world is the Dark side haha

I know nothing about straight razors, but your comments are terrific. TSD is so supportive it's amazing.

Herm, it's time...

 

Hear, hear! I couldn't have said it better.

 

Now I have a certain Blue Oyster Cult song running through my head.

 

Tell you what. When my Cleveland Browns win the Super Bowl I'll try a straight.

I've been a Browns fan since the 80's...I'll believe it when I see it. Fingers crossed.
