Thanks for all the input people,it means alot to me.My father and grandfather passed before they could teach me how this all worked.So on docs orders I'm kinda on my own trying to learn how to shave at 43 years old.Tax money is coming so maybe I can buy some things to upgrade.I'm thinking a paddle strop in place of my belt, a brush and soap and maybe a new razor and hone.Not much available in our valley,so is the web site on the header of the forum good for ordering from?
