Thread: Thank you so much Outback!

Thank you very much Mike.

The THREE straight razors you sent me arrived today.

They're absolutely beautiful, and I owe you big time.



Wouldn't even let me pay the postage!



Thank you again Mike, I will pay it forward in the future when I as you have done.



I also thank you for the sample of Martin de Candre.



The razor with the silver shield in the first pic is my original razor but I forgot to take it out before I took the pic.

Not bad, only took a week.!
U enjoy brother, I did, and the owners before me.
As said, I muted the square point for ya, so it shouldn't be an issue. In time, you'll likely gravitate to a square point, being you have a small beard like myself. Great for tight detail work.

Let us know how they shave for ya. I like knowing how my edges stack up to others.

Hi Mike I just shaved with the black razor. OMG , are you sure they are supposed to be quite that sharp?



I would love to know a bit about these razors, age make and any other history.

I love the idea that I am using a razor from maybe my grandad or his dads era - or even older. It is so cool to shave with something interesting.

Even if they're not that old, they don't look new so they are definitely interesting.

Steve

Nice one

Thats very kind of Outback. With a few shave ready razors
your ahead of the pack in this game.

Good on you Mike! That's the spirit of SRP.

Just goes to show ya what kind of guys are on this forum.

Bravo Mike

I've had nothing but good advice and guidance from the members of SRP. It's very obvious that the members genuinely care and want new shavers to succeed.

I am astounded by Outbacks generosity and when I record my 20th shave in a few days to let everyone decide if I have improved compared to my 12th shave and hopefully give me some more helpful advice, I will be using one of the razors that Mike sent me for the first time.

A shave in Mikes honour.

Of course I am using the other two, but saving one for the video(scary square point).

I bet you'll get your smoothest shave yet off one of Mike's edges-I hear hear they can split atoms!

Your twentieth shave will be no better than the 12th, its only after about fifty that you start getting better. I was totally afraid of square points when I started, and was sure that I would lose an ear or slash my nose off. Once you get used to it though, its no different than other blades.
Welcome to the club and buy more blades. (Send me a pm and I will tell you a secret source online where you can get blades at a fair price and sometimes some really great ones. Some of my best scores came from this place.)
