new to SR's.....
have two torreys.....one lands today. the other is off being honed until I decide if I want to invest any more into this. i already have a strop. holding off on a 12k stone until I know for sure.
1. what type/typical shave is expected from SR shaving? DFS, CCS, BBS? I realize that some of this will change as experience is gained.
2. I assume running thinner lather with good slickness is king?
3. how many pitfalls should I expect? throw in the towel or keep at it blood be damned.
I love my GEM razors......and will always stick with my collection. I still love my muhle R103. but I ain't gonna lie, SR's obviously have a mystique about them and are of historical importance.
thanks all for your thoughts on this.
