Hi everybody!

After wanting to be able to use a straight razor for years, I finally took the plunge a few months back, and got myself a nice kit consisting of an Iwasaki razor, a Naniwa whetstone, a Jnat and a Kanamaya strop. Maybe not things one would think of for newbie, but my love for all things Japanese got the better hand of me (and my wallet agrees). Now I've used the Iwasaki a few times already, and had it honed by Maksim in Denmark. I can get a decent shave from it on my cheeks and neck, but not yet on my chin and lip. I want to use the hones I already have, but am afraid of ruining the edge on the razor.

Now my question to you is, does anybody have old straight razors that I could use (buy) that need sharpening, so I could practice a bit? I watched countless videos already (among them Lynns), and will order the DVD too. But ideally I would want to be able to use the stones on my razor without ruining it.

However I am located in Belgium...

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've seen that all of you on here are eager to help each other. Maybe one day I can pass my knowledge on to someone else

Thanks!
