Oz, thanks again, in addition to my initial post on SRP which I just updated. You really have provided extremely good service. The blade seems exceptional & the first shave was smooth. I have nothing to compare it to, however the sharpness is clearly excellent & I really appreciate the work you did to get it there.
Thanks also to other SRPers (including chat room) for getting me on the straight and narrow quickly with various bits of advice. I can see how newbs could easily be discouraged if they just follow their noses.
