    Hi all,
    Just started last week with my blue diamond I bought from Bob Keyes. A beautiful razor. Also picked up an Illinois hanging strop, treated canvas side with chromium oxide spray and a norton 4/8. I must say this is definitely a learning curve going from DE shaving to this but I have not sliced myself up too bad and am looking forward to developing my skills. Just wanted to say hi and look forward to picking your brains.

    Sounds like you're off to a great start. This is a great site for picking the brains of some very knowledgeable people. I do it all the time!

    If there's no photo you don't have a razor at all. Them's the rules...
