over on shavemyface.com, we have some guys really talking up wanting to try straights, and of course, i and others send them over here. most of them want to try a straight to see if they are cut out for it, and would not mind buying a strop (we tell them about tony a lot and handamerica) but are hestitant to get a razor that they do not know anything about and then invest in other stuff.

i know lynn at times had guys donate razors they did not use and had honed up. is that still going on? or a loaner type of situation. i think some of the guys interested lurk around these parts, so maybe a reply in the forum would help them know who to contact
