I suppose it wouldn't be worth the trouble, right??
Got my first couple of ebay specials last week--all pretty good condition, but dull. Bought a nice 4 sided paddle strop. Succumbed to the temptation to get the 4k/8k norton stone and some pastes for the strop.
Spent a good couple of hours honing and stropping yesterday, surprising myself somewhat by getting a good edge on all three razors (all that woodworking tool sharpening helped).

Decided that today was going to be the day, first time for everrything!!!
Observation #1-- You really, REALLY shouldn't be in a hurry.
Observation #2-- Can't see a damn thing in the mirror with my fat hand in the way.
Observation #3-- CLUBMAN NICK RELIEF LIQUID HURTS LIKE H*LL!!!!!
Observation #4-- The day in which to try a new shaving method is not the day before doing interviews with prospective employees.

Let's just say that I still don't think I've cleaned up all the blood in the bathroom yet....

I'm really trying not to laugh at myself--I'm afraid that smiling will open the wounds again. ops:
