Thanked: 0Thanks!
Holy Mackeral! You are all rediculously resourceful and helpful. Many thanks. I'll send that razor to be honed today!
As for my other gear... I went for the other stuff at the same friendly knife store. A strop, a brush, and soap in a mug, all Conk (I'm so glad that I wasn't ripped off). The guy at the store does not shave with a straight, I asked... See below for pics.
Basically, I'm going for the minimal gear required, which will gradually and strategically be added to as time goes on. In general, I believe "light is right" more than "be prepared". Next comes a hone, i believe. Any suggestions?
