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!

I just had my 17th shave and thanks to Mikes honing, it was so close and comfortable.

Well that's good to here, that's what I always strive for, consistency, and replication.

Spent several months with Gasman, finding the right edge for him. He likes his to be very keen, so I sent him a razor that I knew was, too keen. (He didn't believe it was possible for a razor to be, too keen )

Had to run the full spectrum, to find out what worked best for his skin, and beard type. But he's a happy shaver now.!

Were a family, here. Not just a forum of shave happy gents. We pitch in to help other/each other out, and have fun doing it. I couldn't tell ya how many razors I've gifted to new members. Some stay, most never return, or stick with it very long. Doesn't bother me either way, I've pissed away more cash, at a bar.

Something I was going to ask.

1. How well did the razor glide thru the stubble, compared to your razor.?

2. Which razor did u use out of the three. The Artist was the only one I didn't do a touch-up on. Just stroped , tested, and stroped again. Hasn't been back to a stone, in several years, and probably only a dozen shaves.

When I first started straight shaving, Outback Mike was one of the first guys to reach out and offer help. He is still my choice for whenever I have a blade that needs honing or whenever I have a project that is beyond my paygrade. This site is full of super helpful folks, but Mike is an absolute peach.

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.)
