Thread: New Straight on its Way!

I think a lot of folks could learn from your experience in several ways. First, your time spent reading gave you a lot of good information. That's always a good idea before spending hard earned $$$$. Second, "shave ready" isn't always! Most new "from the factory" razors usually (99% of the time) aren't. Professional honing from someone reputable in the straight razor community is a sure bet!

Welcome to the enjoyment! My first modern SR was an Aust and they shave well!
