Thread: Another new guy in Minnesota, 2nd visit

One of our SRP guys stopped over this evening. Minnebrew ( Robert O'Brian) brought over his razor and a new set of scales. We took off the old scales, installed the new ones, then did a bit of honing on his razor. Along the way he practiced his stropping. He was here last summer when we cleaned up the razor a bit on the buffing machine. He now has time to start in with the straight razor so he is now setup & ready to go. Here are a few pics........

Shaved well! One question is that although the blade has been oiled it seems to have green water spotting that occurred after i finished shaving. I oiled it and that kinda got rid of the green coloring but you can see the spots if you hold the blade at an angle. Polishing compound maybe?

Could be some left over Never-Dull that I used on the razor yesterday but thats just a guess. But, I have never seen the color green except from chrome oxide.
Did you happen to try the paddle strop?

Not paddle use yet. I oiled the razor last night and againthis morning so far the green spots have gone away. I will watch for more but no problems so far. 2 shaves in with it and it is feeling good. Thanks agian for all the help!
