Troggie, love the avitar

AD... Oh how we need to learn it's true meaning

That Dovo is a real blade (just thought I'd add that)

I'd put the second razor as #1 on the list as that strop will hold ya quite a while. Also depending on your finances you may just want to keep an eye out for good deals (AD's love that one) that happen all the time.

+1 on that Norton 4k/8k invaluable stone if not the very foundation of things to come. Sure you can get cheaper stones but not the quality vs $$ on that one.

Oh brushes... thats an AD I haven't jumped on yet, they are just to personal to just grab and prey... That said I have a starter silver tip (TGQ carries it) a mid line AoS, and was given a lovely SRP 2008 brush... I'm very content on my brushes...

Razors... Ya... I'm not even looking for the 12 step RAD program... I think I passed that off ramp years ago and still haven't found the breaks... I think I have just under 25 in the mail as I type... oops...

Hones I'm to picky on so I haven't gotten to crazy on them... ya right... I just want the ones I can't afford keeps me from HAD to a point
