Hi everyone,
My name is Paul, I'm 47 and started shaving with a DE 6 months ago (having used those awful cartridge multi blades for years) and I'm now taking the leap to the straight razor. I've just bought a Dovo Special 5/8 carbon steel full hollow ground which I've just sent away to be professionally honed (not ready to do that myself just yet) so I should ready to shave in about 10 days or so!
Done loads of research (you're impressed I can tell) but I'm still mystified by honing and stropping:huh:.
I'm sure I'll pick up some great tips here and look forward to your input.
