Thanked: 10Double Arrow, eh? I hadn't considered that, but I certainly will now. Where might I obtain one of these Arrows? Duh, never mind, I can google.
One each time I shave!!Thank god. I thought for a second you might be one of those psycho S.R. guys I've heard about with a shaving obsession and death wish.
Glad that's cleared up.

Thanked: 3795I didn't mean to scare you off. Pick up one of those razors and shave with it! I don't think you need to wait on a Double Arrow. If you really want one, I'll sell you one of mine for cheap and get it in the mail tomorrow but you really don't need to wait. None of your razors are so precious that they cannot be replaced and if you are careful and attentive your razor will be fine.

Knocking on wood as I type this but I've never dropped a razor in my life.
nor dinged the edge on the faucet. I've cut a gouge in a strop though.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

As a newb I started with three blades - a Satinedge, a Henckels 18, and a Challenge Cutlery (all square points, btw
) - and if you think you're going to just use one or two while the others sit there unused, calling out to you - fuggedaboudit! Try them all!

I say start with either of the Geneva razors. They are top notch shavers, but not "gasp in horror at my screw-up" valuable if you ding them on the faucet or drop it on the floor.
Also, I say drop that Arkansas like a hot rock. Stick with the Carborundum if it is really made for straight razors. Some of them weren't so be sure before you take a shave ready, but needing touch up razor to the stone.
Anyhow, the few I have had were pretty consistent, and they are great little barber hones: comfortable edges, medium cutting speed, practically indestructible.
