What size is your brush? 30 mm?

What do you suggest be a good blade to start with. I have been looking into straight razor shaving for a while and dont know anyone that does it. Just looking for some advice on it. What strop do you use, brush & soap?

Thanks for your help,

@TheC4ranch blade: anything from straight razor design or rup razor will be sharp enough to shave with when you get it. for the strop, there are so many manufacturers, but rup razor or tony miller will have the best. brushes are very personal, you can get a good start with a boar brush from your local drugstore, same for soap (although I make my own)

nice video man! shaving with a straight razor is like smoking a pipe! masculinity!

[outsidebiarnes]

Oh man, are you ambidextrous?

I cannot do that both hands : right hand for right cheek, left hand for left cheek!

Looks so easier for you...

[sabelch]

It almost sounds like you're running water during your entire shave. That'd be a huge waste of water.

Is there an easy way to get the east to west prickley hairs that grow around my adams apple?..if I dont get them they get itchy! 

[rbechard]
