    Default Borrow a shave ready razor

    Hello all,

    I am going to ask the help of the good folks here at SRP. Is there anyway someone here would be kind enough to send me a honed, more-than-capable-of-shaving razor? I want to compare with my current razor to see if my razor is slightly tugging because I have yet to perfect my technique, or if it needs refreshing/or maybe re honing. I understand that in an unexperienced hand, a shave ready razor can become quite dull within a short period of time. Have been shaving almost a month. Shave every third day (all the older gentlemen can go ahead and laugh, I am only 20, not Grizzly Adams).
    Points of Interest:
    1. I WILL BE SHAVING WITH THIS RAZOR
    2. Reimbursement for initial shipping will be sent along with the razor when I return it
    3. Razor will only be kept a few days (4 max) upon receipt
    4. I would prefer (if possible) if the razor has been stropped more than sufficiently. This is too take my lack of stropping experience variable out of the equation

    I basically want to compare the two razors and see where mine is at. I will also be looking at the two under a microscope to start learning what a shave ready razor looks like and what a razor that might need a few strokes on CrOx looks like compared to shave ready. Please PM me if you are willing to help. Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: If it would make people feel more comfortable, I can mail them the initial mailing cost(would only cost one envelope and stamp) and some safety deposit amount as collateral for their razor.
    Regards,

    Brandon
