Hey everyone,

I posted an indroduction in another thread, but I thought I should introduce myself quickly here and ask what stupid question I may have.

So at the moment I have been using a shavette for a month and a bit, eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first straight. I have all the starting supplies I believe I need (badger brush, cheap bowl I found in the kitchen, razor, soap, cream, styptic pencil because lets be honest, 2 strops one for every shave and one to put paste onto, and proraso aftershave which I love the smell of). So I think I am good in that regard.

However; I was wondering for future knowledge, if there is anyone in Melbourne who hones razors? At the moment I can not really afford my own stones and risk stuffing up a razor.

Also, if I was able to get a single honing stone, which one would be a good single stone to have?

Does anyone have any hidden gems of places to buy supplies from at a reasonable price?

And finally (for now anyway) has anyone had any problems importing razors? Or any other legal issues that may arise such as traveling with one.

Cheers in advance
Mark
