Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I feel much better about my purchase now. +1 Ursus, thanks for the "do not touch up" advice for the first month. You are right in assuming I would have been tempted to draw iron to stone.

I will post a 1st shave update soon after my package arrives.

Learned long ago when entering a new forum to "Read, Read, Read till your eyes bleed" before one starts posting questions. Usually most questions have been answered many, many times. As a network/computer engineer, I understand the frustration with people who refuse to put out some effort and study a bit. I find the joy is not in just doing something new but in learning something new.
