Well, I resisted for a few years, but I recently bought this straight on the BST. Will ship on Monday, but I have a few questions:
Who is a great honemeister?
Is that a decent straight for a new straight shaver? I figured vintage, German, should be ok?
Is that what would be called a hollow ground?
If I get a good hone-job done on it, can I keep it in good shape for awhile with a strop?
Speaking of strops, since Tony Miller is no longer making strops, can you recommend a good one?
How often do I need to have it honed?
Sorry for all the questions, but well, oh heck, you guys understand, look who I'm talking too!
