Good evening Gents.

I hope this is the correct forum section to post this message to. I introduced myself a week or so ago. Thanks to everyone who replied. One member offered to hone my new razor for me. I figured, "what the hell", so I sent my new razor off to a strange dude that I met on the internet, sounds like a beginning to a 80's splatter moovie...

Several emails later I have a new friend. I asked Lots of questions, received reasonable answers.

My razor arrived and the first thing he saw were, "sparkles" on the blade. I had noticed a "facet" when I first shaved with it. I don't mean to bash any manufactures here, just telling the facts as they appeared. There was also a "spike" on the heel. see pic, Name: GD Heel.jpg Views: 152 Size: 58.5 KB

My razor was advertised as Shave Ready, see article here. My razor fit into that category, It shaved, to my inexperienced hand, pretty good. Now it glides across my face like no body's business! Fresh out of the mail, I could not perform a cross cut. It just tugged and was not comfortable. I thought it was my inexperience, figured I'd get better. Now I can Crosscut with no problems. After some work, I have a razor that I think will be a keeper...

I'll have to say, I've met a few folks off of SRP and each of you have been gentlemen I appreciate the warmth that I have felt with the welcoming messages.

In closing, Roy, "Cudarunner", is a standup guy, he even sent me two razors in the mail with mine for me to try out... if I like them, (Which I do) we can work something out, (which we will).

My son had my Grandfather's SR and brought it over this evening. I will get it in the mail tomorrow to have it bought back to life.

Roy, you have a lifelong customer and friend... If anyone is looking for good advice and or needs a razor honed, hit Cudarunner Up... he will treat you right...

Y'all stay safe!

Mike
