Great video. I know how to do both,one is for an experience which is the straight razor. The other is more in and out and more time efficient. And one of course takes time and practice. But if you can master a straight razor you will always look great especially if you have a beard like me where you can line it up through out the week instead of looking like a wolf and a mess.

I've been shaving with a safety razor for years. New to the straight razor I hope I don't shave like a Ruffian under the jaw! Thank you for this very informative video. ⚒

I’ve been using a DE razor for the last 15year and finally bought my first straight razor. I have a beard so I only shave my neck. I just went at it today and didn’t do to bad. Definitely drew a little blood so figured maybe I’d watch a video. This is a good one for sure

Is there somewhere to buy hairy balloons? I can't neither find them not Google them!?😮😮🫤 Yet so many say to practice first shavings on a balloon!?!?🫤😳🤭

Thank you sir! I started using a shavette and will use your tutorial to try learn how to shave myself without creating a blood bath, which happened yesterday 😁

I’ll stick with my Gillette Mach 5!😂 I learned to shave with a double edged safety razor, never could figure out why they called them safety razors, I have used a straight razor some when I was younger. And I always enjoyed a straight shave at the barber I went to.

Thanks for the great breakdown ! Just got my first straight razor last week after years and years of electric razors , disposable razors, etc. Really enjoying my Dovo Bismarck so far, and trying to figure out how to get the most out of a shave. I’m excited to try out many of the techniques you displayed in this video. Thanks again, Cheers!

No one talks about a major reason to use a straight razor, and here it goes: straight razor is the best tool to shave and be smooth up and down. BECAUSE if you are eating your gf p***y, going up and down, you do not want for her to jump up that "you sting my thighs when moving down. So, thanks for this tutorial.

Do you need japanise natural stones ? For finishing

Thanks from the future. Just learning what I can before I get mine in the mail in a week or two.

Thanks. After use and drying as well as I can, I leave my razor open in a shallow V formation, (propped on the leather case to protect the blade) on the counter for a while. A while? Most of the day… +- My soap is a local beautifully fragrant, oil based cottage made soap which I use as a razor oil and deodorant.

Just got 5 minor cuts while doing my first straight razor shave. I’m excited to get better!

I bought a kamisori style straight razor with replaceable blades. The handle on a traditional straight razor is distracting and gets in my way.

Why do you sometimes push the blade and sometimes pull?

Why did you go the opposite direction with your blade on the stone instead of continuing with the reverse stroke?

Amazing insight. Seems like this is gonna reduce the wear on the blade to basically zero. Same for the lapping routine. The hone, if not warped after drying, doesn't need to be lapped as frequently as is recommended by other honemeisters on YT. I can imagine that a pyramid more easily mitigates planar differences in multiple hone progressions. The pyramid is something new I learned. Definitely gonna try these edge preserving and time saving methods too. Thank you very much

Do you let the thick rounded back of the razor touch the stone

Lynn is the Best. Always coming back to your videos. Have a great year. Happy 2024

I love that he's looking into his own eyes as he instructs us

I occasionally come back and watch this video as a refresh. Good stuff. I hope you are doing well Lynn.

Like listening to the godfather of shaving!!! I payed extra close attention! Awesome presenter

You should practice what you preach mate ..get a shave !

I have use striaght rajar frist time

I noticed you lead the edge on honing stones but trail it on a strop. I'm a novice and want to learn. I've seen someone else saying you should always trail your edge. which is true and why?

Have used noting but leather strops, an Arkansas stone, fabric strop with chromium paste to maintain my razor for over 10 years. As long as you don't damage the edge, you should never need to re-set the bevel.

Would you recommend lapping the barber's hone before using it? Thanks.

What a great no-bull channel this is. I see it's some years since you posted a new video, but there's always new people coming in, and great information like this never gets old. Hope you never take the channel down .

A really terrific tutorial, thank you for posting this.

The diamond paste is better the the Green? Where to by it?

Lynn, which finishing stone do you like the best. I am not asking which stone makes the sharpest blade. Which finishing stone feels like shaving with butter. Thanks and I miss Straight Razor Design. Take Care……

Yaba daba doo

Thanks

Thank you lynn

Awesome

Lynn, you were the best. I love my paddle strop. Miss you, all the best. 0:00

Hey Lynn. So I just chipped my new carbon TI razor on the sink. Ive honed knives but never razors. Is this a good way to start?

Lynn - Why is a hanging strop preferred over a paddle? According to what I understand about blade geometry, I can’t see any value in using a strop that may wrap around the apex at all.

Ive nicked my strop. How can i fix it? Sand it flat?

11 years later, and I still reference this video when I need to hone my straight razors.

Watched this video about 2 years ago when I first started shaving with a straight razor came back and watched it again and picked up a few new things. Definitely worth a rewatch from time to time as you get better with a razor!!!

Did I really watch a video of a guy shaving? Yes I did...

I bought a 3000/8000 Naniwa instead of the 4K/8k stone you mention. I didn’t know there was a 4000/8000. Did I make a mistake doing this? Is 3000 too coarse a grit? I have a 230/1000, a 3000/8000, a 12,000 and chromium oxide paste on the inner webbed fabric strop as you demonstrated. I really only got the 1000 for vintage razors that I find at antique shops and which need a bevel set and complete honing. In fact, I have only used the 3000 on those razors as well with varying degrees of success. There’s a LOT TO LEARN! 😂 But I guess my question is would I be best to stay away from using the 3000 on newer razors? Perhaps I should get a 5000 as well?

Lynn how can I contact you?

I dont think i'll find it easy using my left hand

Very nice of a tutorial. Thank you!

Thank you

24 years old and tried once and got a couple knicks, lets see how it goes! Thank you for all the tips and tricks!!🎉

The Ring on your finger.... are you a mason?

Do you sharpen straight razors for a living

Thank you for a great video .
