Hello from Washington State- For some reason, I decided to start shaving with a straight! I actually read nothing about it, and jumped in using a shavette. I shave my whole head, and it has been a challenge for sure! After about a month and a half, I bought a Naked Armor Solomon, and was I sorely disappointed. After I received it, and it was definitely not shave-ready as advertised, I visited my Dad for a little advice. He thought I was nuts shaving with a straight....but mentioned he had a few that he had acquired, but never used. My fav is attached, and I'm looking for someone close who hones. Any input is most welcome
Welcome to the Den, Chad. My go to honemeister is Glen. He is a true master and is located near you (Idaho). He is a member here (@gssixgun) so you can send him a PM or contact him at his website - http://www.gemstarcustoms.com if you are so inclined.
Chad, welcome to The Shave Den from Kentucky. It sounds like you're off to a great start. I'm currently shaving with a Parker SRX shavette, and it's a blast. Good luck on getting your beautiful straight razor honed!
Welcome to TSD Chad @Chad Larsen from the Gulf Coast! I'll second Chris @americanshamrock recommendation of Glen @gssixgun. Not from my personal experience, but everyone I've heard do business with him is a happy shaver. Glen also has a number of videos on YouTube if you should consider learning to hone your own.
Welcome from Alabama the Heart of Dixie. You are the right place. I don't shave with a straight but a lot of guys here do.
