Can't wait to get started!

[gicts]

picked up a $20 Selective NY set of a strop and 2 razors off of ebay earlier in the week. You don't have to say it, I should have known. Ya get what you paid for Snaged a Norton 1000 and 8000 off ebay and found a Silver King for $18 at an antique mall yesterday I cleaned up. My Lynn Abrams dvd came yesterday which as everyone knows is very useful.

My questions are-
has anyone seen a king silver with black scales? I found a few white ones on the internet but they don't seem too common.

and

the edge on the silver king seems pretty good, however by no means can cut the hair test. Is my selective NY strop up holding me back or is it just the new guy syndrom? Or is it not possible to tell just from the internet? I can't get the Selective razors to get anywhere near as close as the sharpness of the SK. Haven't gotten my Nortons yet.
