Greetings
I an new to the board and would like to say THANKS to Classic Shaving and Vintage Blades! Great service! :tu
Due to a skin condition I have been shaving with a straight for some time. Recently though my trusty old Fromm just would respond to stropping as well it had previously. I ordered a Norton 4k/8k combo from Vintage Blades, and a few items from classic including an array of strop pastes.
As soon as my packages arrived I immediately grabbed my trusty Fromm 72R which needed just a touch-up (I thought!) and went to work! Mind you I have been very happy with this blade. A little strop here, a little strop there, and its been a nice relationship. But now! MWA HA HA! I have work to do!!!
Light as feather I hit it 5 times on the soaked Norton4k from Vintage....10 times on the 8k....Strop Strop Strop ...and now....THE PIXIE DUST FROM CLASSIC.... .25 Diamond paste on the strop. :y
Mind you everyone says this stuff can make a aggressive shave but what the heck. I've been shaving for years:rofl2:
Hot shower...nice lather.....:bow...Oh!
About the aggressive stuff....SSSHHAARRP!
All I can say is I am spoiled rotten!

Welcome, Bladerunner
Nice handle. I can't believe that one hadn't been taken yet. Now you can look at every whisker and tell them, "Time to die"! :D
