Wise Words..There is Enough on You're Plate Learning to Shave & Strop..When the Time Comes..All You Need to Refresh a Blade & Introduce Honing is 1 Micron Lapping Film to be Honest..I Don't Know Why But it Gets Overlooked By Many..Thanks Billy, I was a little worried about the whole honing process.
The shaving is my key goal, as no point in investing in stones if I don't like it or if I prefer my DE
Would it be something similar to this..Wise Words..There is Enough on You're Plate Learning to Shave & Strop..When the Time Comes..All You Need to Refresh a Blade & Introduce Honing is 1 Micron Lapping Film to be Honest..I Don't Know Why But it Gets Overlooked By Many..
Its the Equivalent to a 16 K Stone for Pennies & a Sheet Can Last for a Very Long Time..Its as Good a Finishing or Refresh Hone as Any Current Synthetic Stone..Its Probably Easier to Use an All to a Beginner..It has Remarkable Feedback for a Finishing Hone & No Big Deal if Its Not for You at the Price..

Well done Irish , you will never go back to a shavette again. It's just down to practice now, the more you do the better you will get, you will Nick yourself from time to time but that's part of learning, don't let it set you back.So just finished my first shave with the straight.. Surprisingly went a lot better than I thought with new cuts or body parts missing.
The straight seems more forgiving than the shavette, but will take sometime getting use to the larger blade.
I did have a good 5 days growth and took some hacking to get through, did 2 WTG passes and against on the neck but still couldn't get that area as close. Under the nose was also tricky, so a small touch up needed with the DE.
Overall pretty happy, went a hell of a lot better than the first time I used my DE.
