Thanked: 983As I alluded to Steve, He pictured just the one cut, but in his post it appeared that he thought he might like to cut himself again...
I'm going to say right here and now that I learned to hone before I learned to shave properly with the darn things. I might not have honed very well to start with, but I did hone well enough to get my first decent shave from my razor. I only had the one razor and had had it for some time. Factory edge had been severely dulled after countless attempts at shaving with it, and a couple of swipes on my trusty, rough as guts pocketknife hone. I finally got clued into the wonders and joys of internet and did a bit of research into what was required before I learned I had gone about it all wrong. Got myself a 1k/6k, 3k/8k combo and followed up with a C12k a little later. It's been all I need apart from my home made strop.

P.S You may or may not be an idiot Carl, but you're my kind of idiot mate. I reckon you'd have some of us in stitches...From laughing of course. Not from tripping over your 5 kilo hammer!Last edited by MickR; 07-16-2012 at 09:37 AM.

He actually got two. What I think happened. NO FREAKING CLUE!!!! He didn't even go over that area more than once. Maybe the current CEO of Gillette sent forced magic to happen so he got two cuts. NO ONE KNOWS!! My dad also took the liberty of showing everyone in my family(Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, ETC.) the video of me shaving..... That was embarrassing.
NOPE! That will be all out of my pocket one way or another. UNLESS,,, my dad gets into the art. Then there may be chance that he will split the costs with me. But yeah, after all of the discussion, I will probably go with a Norton 4/8k within 2 weeks of me getting the hang of everything. (Or when my funds support me. Which ever comes first) Probably a 12 or 16k depending on the price point.
Hahah thanks Carl! At that point, I didn't know any better, and just did what I was told Steven, remember the 30_06 that same year on my trip down to AZ? Just did what I was told WOWOWWOWOWOWO did my shoulder hurt afterward... And no Carl you are not an IDIOT!!!!
Anyways thanks!!!!
