    Default Hello from Debrecen, Hungary

    Hello everyone!

    I came across this site after I was love king for info about straight razors.
    I had been wanting one for a long time, but got my "1st one" about a year ago. That was a birthday gift, and one of those with an exchangeable blade.
    Dunno if those are very different from a normal blade, but I have finally ordered myself a Bijou de France from TI, and fear it will be one out of many.

    A lot of great tips and advices on this page, and full of info about things that I didn't even know that I wanted to know.

    SPLENDID!

    That said, I was just pasting my 4 sided paddle strop an unfortunately managed to spill some (a 1mm line running across) of 6 microns onto what I planned to use for 0.25 microns. I immediately threw some tissue paper on it, and managed to soak most up. But is the leather now ruined for a lower grit?

    Best to all of you!

    Hi, and welcome to SRP! As you have already seen, there is a wealth of knowledge on the site here.

    I can't help you with your strop question, but I can suggest a great place to ask it:

    Strops

    Post a thread there, and I'm sure there will be plenty of help for you.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    It was towards the end. But no color remained, only a 1 mm widw wet mark (as if a drop of water ran over it).
    Now there's no mark /evidence what so ever...

    Oh, I also left the strop problem over at the "strop" forum as suggested ;-)
