Carl,

Thanks for the tips! And yes my Top Flight is a 4/8 and I do love it... It seems to shave very well. The scales are still in pretty good condition, maybe the pins need some tightening or replacing, but nothing major and I am in no hurry to do so.. I am very interested in getting my Wade and Butcher sent out to get honed so I can do a little comparison with the two.

I did see the video on Uberlather on the wiki and it just looked amazing, but of course mine was nothing short of terrible haha. I will get it eventually. Seems like I am doing OK.

I have been looking around for a affordable bigger size razor. Maybe a 6/8? So my next purchase would be that or a new strop. But then again time will tell. I am exceptionally happy with my Top Flight and the utensils I have at the moment.

Cheers,
Mike
