Hi,
As the title says I got my first straight.
Was not sure if I would like it so did not take the risk of buying an expensive one.
Got one from ebay for just £5.19 (Won in a bid)
It is a little vintage one and I dont know how good it is.
It says on the blade that it is "Elricks Special" Hollow Ground
I am giving pictures below.
Now the real task is to make it shave ready. (It is pretty sharp and takes the hairs of my hands cleanly but dont want my first straight shave to be with a not so proper blade)
Is there any place where I can get some used honing stones to make my razor proper. (All the stones which I could see on the net costs pretty much and I am a complete novice so I am not sure what all stones I would need)
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me
Thanks
Shamreez
