Excellent gesture! This is a fine example of why I like this forum and the people that populate it!
Superfluous to write: this is not an application.

Man did I miss the boat. You couldn't have done this two weeks ago LOL?
I have a Robert Klass and a W&B 11/16. I've been shaving with them for about 3-4 weeks. Still, I have to defer to somebody who needs this more than I do. Thanks for the great gesture!

actually while I was away I have outfitted some number of people with eq and had to come up with a good way to keep their razors sharp until they got a hone/learned to use it.

cedar shims are
1 cheap
2 easy to lap flat
3 soft and open grain = holding the paste well
4 long enough to get a good stroke
5 narrow enough for smiling blades
as a newb I wondered for a very long time what diamond would do for my edges but couldn't run out and buy something from Tony Miller.
I wish I had even one of these admittedly low "OOOhhh factor" pasted strops from the word go.
Actually, I used one last night on my favorite boker.
(TM is a great guy BTW, not knocking him, his stuff is super nice and that is why I used him as an example)
