Well, I broke down and gave in. I have been wetshaving for 6 months or so with a DE, but I have always been intrigued by the straight. Last week I bought a straight from a member here that should arrive shave ready. I also ordered two of the Wapencia? razors from ebay. The ebay razors showed up today and I expect the other any day now along with a strop. What I am in need of is someone who could put an edge on my two e-bay razors for me. I would prefer someone in the noretheast to save me shipping time and waiting. Thanks, Paul
