Still waiting for my starter kit.

Dovo best quality full hollow 5/8 razor (Got it)
Shaving brushes, 1 boar hair, 1 badger hair (Waiting for it)
Shaving soap (Waiting for it)
Illinois 127 strop (Got it)
Fromm strop dressing (Got it)
Norton 4000/8000 water stone (Got it)

I'm trying not to jump the gun. Haven't done my first shave yet. I have a beard to get rid of first. I practice my stropping technique, as I wait for the rest of my stuff to arrive. The mail is just real slow getting to Afghanistan.
