#11 one if the most important things I tell people that I have suggested straight razor shaving to. Don't throw out your old razor the instant you get a straight. Straight razor shaving is a learning process and until you get good at it, you will definately want something to get the areas you don't feel comfortable with yet.

When I was a kid, I went to my Grandpa's barber who was one of the old-timers that had been in the business since the 1950s. He never stropped his straight razors fast. He always went with a slow to moderate speed, which stood out to me because I remembered the cartoons always doing it quickly. Now I know why.

I learned to shave and hone with gold dollars. I still keep 2 in my rotation. Learning with them taught me all about proper geometry lol it’s actually a hard razor to learn on. But a great one to learn on nonetheless. It’s best if you send it to Dr. Matt or Anthony Esposito “the stallion”. Because they have lots of experience working the dremel to fix that heel. It has a pronounced shoulder and It often runs into the edge of your stone making life that more difficult. But Dr. Matt does it in a way that actually makes the razor look better! He actually takes the time to have it sanded real smooth to the touch. So learning with an adjusted gold dollar makes the razor just function properly.
@magnoliamike Жыл бұрын
Another think I’ll say is the gold dollar is my favorite razor to hone, it has good weight, a nice think grind, and has tight jibbing to give you that added grip. Because with my Dubl Duck, the tang is squared off so most of the time I have to sit there and stop and re shuts my grip as to not cut my strop lol. It also doesn’t help if your s skew are a little loosy ghoosy

I learned all this on the fly after finding my great grandfather's razors. They were rough, but ground, honed, and sharpened them. Then learning to use it, I didn't like the square edge, so I re-shaped the blade, then did all the honing and sharpening again. Then I had a nice soothing shave, only one pass for a clean shave vs the crap from safety razors. The cleaning of the blade, you do those tips automatically because you don't want to furl the edge you just spent 4 hours refining. Also, use metal penetrating oil to protect it from moisture if you don't shave often. Kroil is good. I use it on my guns as well

@mattwoods838111 ай бұрын
Errors Ive made myself as a newbie that i found were ruining my edges: 1) Not laying the blade perfectly flat on the stone or strop while using. This will result in an edge that may shave but it will not feel like butter. No buttery feel.. something is wrong somewhere. 2) Make sure your pressure is even throughout while honing and stropping. Dont raise the heel or toe. 3) too much pressure on the blade while honing increases the chance of you gouging the blade in one or more areas which could lead to a double bevel. 4) dont hold your strop with a death grip. It should be comfortable while holding it, if its not, theres your sign. 5) dont apply so much pressure with your blade hand that you roll your edge while stropping. 6) test shave with your razor after you finish on the 8k stone and after the razor has been stropped. Once again, if the shave is not buttery smooth and effortless on the first stroke than put the razor down and find out where you went wrong. Was it your stropping? Maybe your pressure or not laying the blade flat at all times? Or was it the bevel not being set correctly? Eliminate one variable at a time and test after each time you do something different than what you did prior. Do this and eventually you will weed out all of your problems and BAM!!!! You got it!!!!

Good stuff. I got into straight razors about a year ago. I have a small business, side business if you like, sharpening knives. Most of my clientele have high end knives and I use no power equipment or jigs. All on stones so I have a background in sharpening and stropping. Darn straight razor took me a good 6 months to feel decent about and I went through probably 10 Gold Dollar $20-$30 razors just practicing. I'm nowhere near sharpening anybody else's razor ha but I'm happy to be able to get my own Dovo sharp! Razors are so darn fickle it's wild. You'd think it's easier than putting a 12 degree edge on an SG2 Gyuto but it's definitely not for me!

As always great video (class!) Matt! Been a wet shaver since 2014. Last year started in with a straight first time then dropped off. A couple of months ago got back into it with sharpenning and honing and reading stuff til 2am at times (with my wife having something to say about it). Today I received my first brand new Dovo Best straight from RE and I cant wait to use it! Im still practicing a lot using a vintage Bismark. Once better and smoother I will dive in with my Dovo. Lots of helpful info here, thanks! Already have an RE shirt but may buy a couple more soon. Just received 2 polish cloths too. Excellent. I was washing the blade in the faucet water then using a dry wash cloth to wipe the blade clean while shaving but now will forgo the faucett. When done I run a piece of tp thru the scales then blow thru them with a can of air. And now I know to leave the razor open for awhile after shaving. So I take it I should just wipe off the oil with a dry cloth when ready to use. I strop after shaving but didnt know to use the linen side, good advice. This razor is my first new straight so its going to be special forever. Its also my retirement gift to me so is an additional special reason. FINALLY retired! I can easily see me using my Dovo every other day, only using a DE when in a hurry. Thanks for the great service and great videos! My mantra now, Shave Straight!

One thing I learned from watching all the ASMR videos and actually now in my infancy of learning straight razor shaving is the proper handling of the razor. When barbers are shaving someone else it is much easier in maneuvering than when you are attempting to shave your own face. You will have a great dominant hand and a weaker hand that takes time to muscle train the proper stroking that your dominant hand tends to not need as much of

My apologies for "necroing" a 3 year old vid, but I noticed a few incorrect details, steel does NOT have "natural oils" in it, no kind of steel does, using isopropyl alcohol is fine for cleaning blades as it DISPLACES water and evaporates much more quickly(99% isopropyl) also I doubt your razor would start to rust WHILE you're using it, so using water to clean it while using it shouldn't be a issue

I’ve been honing and straight razor shaving for just over a year now and I got really good at going through the progression. I use only Naniwa superstones and my progression is 1k 3K 8k 12k. Then I finish after on my green DIALUX Crome ox crayon 🖍. I also got my refreshing technique down pretty well. I’ll either just use the inside of my strop (CromeOx). Or I’ll do a mix of both stones and CromeOx. Last time I did 20 laps each on the 8k and 12k then only 8 laps on the CromeOx. That being said I still want to try my edge without the CromeOx to see how that feels, and also I have yet to shave off my 8k. So there’s still some experiments I have to do. I also have done a lot of research about natural stones, but that can be a headache especially when you get to the J-NATS, but I’d like to try a Cotty, small Koppa, or a black Arkansas stone in the future.

Good vid, though a bit off putting, and I don't mean that as a bad thing. I just got i to shaving with a de safety razor, and really like it. So I also have an interest in straight razors. But if that means I have to send it away 2 or 3 times a year to maintain an edge then that's a dealbreaker (I live in the rural outback in a small country, don't even know if this service even exists here). Now I do sharpen my own knives on an acceptable "amateur" level, so I know how to use a waterstone, but I assume getting a good edge on a straight razor is a different ballgame than keeping my pocket knife sharp....
