Hi Guys,
I've recently made the switch to DE shaving from a Schick Hydro and i'm loving the results and the new found interest in shaving.
I'm thinking about getting a straight razor but wanted to know what the minimum amount of equipment i could buy to get into this would be.
I obviously need a razor so recommendations on a good beginners one would be appreciated.
I realise i need a strop to keep the edge sharp but do i need anything else like stones to resharpen the edge when it gets dull? How long with daily stropping will a razor last before it needs to be re-sharpened on stone / by a professional?
