Thread: Newbie's First Setup

I can prob take a guess at the shop but won't go and poach them on you .... yet!

Floppyshoes is one of the closest (he's in Montreal) - he does the initial hone on many of the straights sold through Fendrihan.

Hahah, if you Pm, i might you let you know the shop, or at least tell you if your guess is right: my friend wants me to pick up another straight, and i need to pick up 2 DE (one for me, one for a gift) and i was looking at the badger brush , but thats a lot of cash, for me at one time.

Heres the Blade! I think i got the best one

edit: srry bout that gf came over and forgot

Could you please go back in and re-size your PICS

Thanks in advance

Here are some smaller versions of your pictures.
I also tweaked the exposure on a couple of the darker ones for you.

Thanks for that, i just posted them, then my Girlfriend arrived for our date and i forgot about them.

Awesome job resizing and tweaking, you have my thanks, But what do you think of it? or do you know anything about it, for $25 i thought it was a steal, they also had a really nice almost new, dovo kind of thing(not dovo but a simple clean blade) but it had a chunck out 1/2 cm wide at the bottom of the blade

The Wostenholm pipes are nice shavers. It should be a good razor for you once it's honed and ready to go. It looks like a 4/8 in the picture, the narrower blades can be a little tricky for a beginner to strop, so be sure to watch the videos in the wiki and pay attention to your technique.
I don't know if you want to modify the blade or not, but as a beginner it might also be a good idea to ask whoever hones it to mute that square point just a little bit more.
