alright alright so I've got the DE thing down pat with my face I got a good go to combination of razor/blade/cream combo.
but I do have that interest in straights I have one of those cheapo shavette things that I use on the weekends. and those are ok for getting the motions down but they have no weight and I'm not learning how to hone or strop.
Can someone point me in the direction of a good straight/strop/hone that I can learn with?
I've read that using a strip of balsa wood is good but I want to learn with the leather strop. For a blade something not too expensive or decorative because I would be practicing honing it myself but I also want something that will give me a good shave. I pretty much want a strop, hone and blade that are a little forgiving but could also last a long time once I start to get the hang of things.
