I must say that I got alot more than I bargained for with this thread! It seems there are quite a few ideas and techniques when it comes to staying sharp. All of it will keep me busy for weeks if not months! Being new to str8 shaving I have not alot to contribute yet, but as Ray put it, eventually I hope to be able to give back. It is one of the most facinating little indulgences that I have, and this site feeds the fire for sure.

Cheers!
