finally here!
So, after weeks and weeks of checking the mail box and being disappointed, my razor and strop have finally arrived and my set up is complete. Its a strop from star shaving, and the razor is a Thomas Ellin and Co Vulcan Steel purchased from Pete_S on the classifieds. Now, off to my first shave. The picture was taken from my phone, so sorry for the poor quality.

Looks great! Let us know how the first shave goes!

You know what they say. The proof of the pudding is the eating. So dig in.

I see the styptic pencil tucked in there too. :) Good to have one of those handy sometimes.
Now you are ready to go....enjoy the Proraso green, I love that stuff!

Congrats!! I know how hard it is to be waiting by the mailbox for certain razor related goodies. Hope ur first shave is a success :)

Congrats! I too wait impatiently for the mail. I have to be quick about it when it comes. My wife is getting a bit antsy with all the "little boxes" showing up for the last 3 months. Take it slow and remember to pre shave with hot towels they make a huge difference.

Enjoy the new equipment. Take it slow and remember to use a light touch.

Thanks for the replies guys! First shave didn't go too bad, restricted it to the cheek area only. A little awkward doing the left cheek. Need to work on angles and technique, but other than that, I'm happy with the razor and equipment. Here's hoping I don't dull the edge while attempting to strop!

Good to hear your first shave went well. Just take it slow and light on the strop and you should be just fine :)
