Hi all,
First time poster long time reader. I have bee using a straight edge with disposable blade for about a year and just bought myself a refurbished Bengal of Sheffield, England blade. I'm wrapped with it.
The blade didn't come sharpened so this is where I need help if you please.
I have a strop and been trying to sharpen it but cant quite get it shave ready.
Do you know if I keep at it I will eventually get it shave ready on the strop or do I need to get it professionally sharpened and then just use the strop to maintain?
Tanks a million...
