Well, they're here...

My new strop (DOVO Prima Rindleder), and hone (Norton 4000/8000) from ClassicShaving.com.

Now what the hell do I do?!!!!! LMAO

I guess its time to order Lynn's DVD, and get to crackin' on the 'frowning' blade I picked up.

One of the razors I bought actually shaves the hair off the back of my hand without pulling. Any chance it'd be helped by the strop, or would I just run the risk of damaging the strop?

Damn, now I gotta go read more!! (that's a good thing)

Check my posting in the thread "Hone and Stroke: Solved!" to see pictures of the correct way to hone your razor, and the correct way to shave.

I did not include stropping, but the same book has these.

It should be in the FAQ...
