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.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!
There are many roads to sharp.

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.

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.Mike
