Hey guys,

Just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. You guys are an endless well of knowledge. I started straight shaving about a month ago and learned all I know from stickies, posts, and the wiki. I have purchased a 250/1000, a 4000/8000, a spyderco UF stone, a bismark strop, a col conk straight, and restored a very pitted and damaged 7/8 1/2 hallow sharp point Fromm something or other from some other place in Germany (not Solingen). I was able to do all of this with all of your help and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all. I have really enjoyed my short trip so far into this nitch. Now I need to call upon your expertise...The col conk is a piece of crap or I don't know how to shave with it. I always get scratches all over my face from it and it is a round point fully hallow. Now the sharp point gives no irritation what so ever and is a great shaver. It is very heavy razor and I really like shaving with it. Why the irritation from the light round point and not from the heavy sharp point? Later I will post the actual name of the sharp point as it escapes me at this time but just in case anyone out there know what brand or anything else I am talking about?

Hope my first post wasn't to confusing and Thanks Again.
