    Looks good Ed. You will have to keep us posted on how they go. Pity you couldn't make it Josh. I remember you did say it was likely you would have the kids. If you want to catch up sometime you got my number give me a call and we'll sort something. After all you are just around the corner
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed

    at the moment just an elastic band at each end, but if i make a few more paddle handles, i will stick them on with double sided tape.

    There is a spray glue available at Bunnings kwik grip I think. If you use it lightly it should bond well but you should be able to remove the pad again when it is no longer any good.

    I gave the strops a go, 10 laps on each working down the micron ratings, this was post shave - pre strop, i did a few dry touch ups and the razor was definately keener, i will continue the experiment. I will even take my 10k home so this will be my whole system for the single razor I use at work daily 2 weeks out of 3.
    The elastic bands work fine as well by the way. So I can use the same balsa paddle as a base for all 4.
    it's a bit of fluffing around but it keeps the kit compact, one box 50 X 90 X 310 mm and the paddle.

    Gordon, if you are interested I have a load of the paste makings that eddy gave me left.

    Eddy, look out for a P.M.

    Greg, you are welcome to some of the pastes too, P.M. me and we can sort something out if you are interested.

    I barely touched what you gave me, so i can sort out heelrau as i was going to loan him my 10k anyway. Assuming we can meet up when I am next back. And seeing as you are almost related to greg it makes sense for you to sort him out.
