Thread: Never shaved but I think I ordered wrong razor

It looks like I've purchased the wrong knife. I wish I had read this post before ordering.

I've sent a request to cancel my order. I only ordered it yesterday so It shouldn't be a problem.

Now I'm going to read some beginners material.

I don't see him as having any trouble with your name. For you to insist so *is* looking for trouble...trolling...

That said, if you're passionate about straights, you'll fit right in here! I think you will find the wiki to be very helpful... as will be the members here in answering your questions.

Maybe I'll just buy one from the classifieds here.

I understand that zeepk razors make good letter openers.

That is a very good choice. You're sure to get a good one, and generally great customer service from the fine chaps here!

Lots of great shave ready razors in the classifieds here..some include shipping and handling...

Ruprazor.com also offers a razor and strop deal that you can consider..

Keep reading and ask questions till you figure out everything you need...to start with... this is a great sight with lots and lots of people ready to help.

Maq

My first "shave" was with a Zeepk! (That was before I found SRP, of course.) I bought that package on the bay and the only thing I salvaged was the brush, but I'm working on fixing that as we speak... Do yourself a favor and never try to shave with it. You don't want to learn the wrong way to shave with a straight razor.

If you can't cancel or return the razor, dull it down and practice stropping with it. Or tape the blade and pretend to shave to get a feel for holding a razor to your face.

hopefully you will be able to cancel the order...like the others have said, the zeepk is junk...try and find a good vintage blade. there are several in the classifieds here...good luck

Glad you caught it quick...I wonder how many perpectives have been disappointed and quit because of zeepk?

Your original screen name was unacceptable to the system admin, that is why it got zapped your new one is fine...

You also might want to follow the last bit of my first message to you and ask for help when you get to the point of hitting the "submit" to buy button on a razor... Most any of the Mods or the Mentors will be glad to give you advise on a razor that you might find... in fact just post it right here in this thread and most any of the membership will be happy to help

Again welcome to SRP
