However you proceed, I hope you have alot of fun. Years on, the enjoyment still has yet to fade, and I'm still amazed that 'joy' and 'shaving' can really appear in the same sentence again.
Everything in due time is the moral I guess...
I am excited about all of this... but SO many variables.... Maybe I should just start with a blade, a strop, and some Chromium oxide paste and go from there...:-)
