Thread: absolute beginner to straights, any chance of some help?

Tink:

I only read this thread diagonaly and it's full of great advice. Stick to it and you'll do fine... be ready to invest time in something that takes time but is trully worth it. Welcome to this great madness! You'll never be lonesome in here! And stick to it... don't give up!

Since you know Makar, may be a good idea to check with him if he has any razor he's not looking to keep.

Not sure if this is allowed but I've just listed several vintage straights for $15 each.

Not shave ready but another $15 will get you there from more than a few experts who post here.

Razors were cleaned, scale and gunk removed and polished.

FYI.

Anyhow, there are often shave -ready straights listed at low prices from a few generous members here as well.

The bug can bite hard and it's easy to spend big $$$ on what can quickly become an addiction.

Welcome and good luck.

Looked at your 'newbie specials' and they're very nice, escpially the 5/8 geo w. korn one. I've not been a member for 5 days yet though

general question, if i did end up with a non-shave ready one, who could i send it to to hone it for me?

<<<EDIT>>> sod it, gone for it. couldn't work out the wierd paypal shopping basket thing so sent you an exra $5 for the international shipping. thanks

BluePrinciple is an excellent Honer in the UK, you could send it to him for honing. http://www.theinvisibleedge.co.uk/
