I have decided to let ‘outback’ hone the razor. Thanks to everyone for offering so much help, I appreciate it.
I will report back once the razor is sharpened and let you guys know whether my face is still in once piece.

Cheers!

You made a fine choice. I sent one of my razors to outback for scale repairs and as an added bonus Mike refreshed the edge for me. Ten shaves later it still mows my beard off like a dream. When you get the razor back do as Mike says and don't strop. Just wipe the oil off and shave.

Glad to hear we didnt scare you off with kindness. It happens sometime. Some folks just dont understand we are here to help and are willing to go out of the way to get you sha e the right way. Mike will fix you up. Good to have ya and let us know how it goes. Just follows Mikes directions and the big one about putting on drawers. Keeping all thing in tack is a good thing. Oh, and if you happen to drop the razor, DONT TRY TO CATCH IT!

Shave the lather, not your face. Light pressure is all you'll need.

Keep the spine about 1 spine thickness, off your skin.

It WILL be the sharpest thing you've ever had in your hand, so wear some shoes and drawers while you shave....unless you don't need them.

Yep. Straight shaving without drawers takes some balls...maybe literally!
