Thread: So here I am

I did love the story, it had everything, humour, horror and a good ending. Welcome to the struggle, keep on trucking

sounds like you popped that Razors Cherry!! Great read

Very good mate. Jimbo will sort you out.
Yup they're super soft stones but fast cutters & great on stainless.
Speaking of stones, better get to work

Just to make sure I'm on the right track, Jimbo is going to avail me some of his time in the next few weeks. I figured the Kasumi would dish fairly fast. It has a very chalky feel to it. I like the fact they supply the lapping stone too.
Thanks to the others who have commented too. Thank you for taking the time to read through it all (or at least enough of it to get an idea anyway).

I did this again today and my skills are vastly superior to that short time ago when I originally wrote this. The straight gave a far better shave than the Gillette on both passes this time around.

Great read! Made me laugh!

Thanks!!

Thanks for the story Mick.

Something for everyone! Drama, sex, violence, romance, humour... and a happy ending!

All the best with your continuing adventures,

Great post - loved the read. I think you could put most peoples avatar on this post - with some minor variations of course. But I love the comment about your wife being used to your eccentricities. I think anyone who pick up this art is nothing if not eccentric.

Also, here in Michigan, I don't think I can actually walk past a shop and see a straight razor for sale.

Continued success to you - you have what it takes.
