Cheers for the tip on the lather, ill try to get more of one going next time.
Do you have any advice for making sure im stropping and honing correctly, as i tried it by just pulling some hairs taught on my chest and it was able to cut through them without even the slightest problem, so im moderatly confident its sharp.

Cheers for any help mate

I'd not put too much trust in "shave ready from the factory" as the experience from member here is that it can be hit and miss. Some are, some aren't and some are almost shave ready from the factory. There members from OZ on the forum that if you PM one of them they may be able to properly hone it for you. That way you will start off with a shave ready razor. You could try PMing member "johnmrson" for a start. You might find others here Down under . There may even be a member in Sydney who can give you some one on one instruction which is the best way to learn.

There is a ton of info here Shave Library

To get you started with lathering.
