EDIT: Lynn really is fast! Also, theres a http://straightrazorpalace.com/get-t...-razorcon.html gathering on the 16th of July which is worth coming along to as there will be a load of honing going on there.

Thanks Stu for your offer, again, this is why this place is such a cool place to hang out...you guys should meet up with as close as you guys are. I checked the maps and would make for a nice evening...

Justin, you should try to make the meet if at all possible, would definitely be worth your time!

Thanks for all the replies, great advice. I've found this morning that the metal edging around inlay on the handle is coming away, so it'll be going back to Trumpers for replacement. I'll try the new one when I get it and then either send it out for honing or take it to my 1k and work up from there.

I've been shaving on and off with a straight for about 3 years, so my technique is reasonable and I can always use my shavette to test against a known sharp edge. I've never managed to hone my straight to be as sharp as the shavette, but I'm certainly getting edges a lot better than that of the bismarck I bought.

Stu: I was at the razorcon a couple of years ago, which I think was the first, up in Birmingham. Didn't make last years and this year I'm away filming until the 15th, and that schedule may push further, depending on unforeseen things happening once we're on location. I might be able to make it if I'm home, as I live up near Harrow so it's not far away, will very much depend on filming and how tired I am after travelling back.

Cheers,

Justin.
