Hello for Guelph, Ontario
Hello All,
I've browsed the forums for awhile and decided I should stop being a hermit and join the community. I've been using a DOVO shavette for the last 8 months and have been loving it. I am currently making the jump to using a SR; I have a Sight Unseen from Whipped Dog on the way. I am a little nervous about stroping and possibly damaging the edge. I have been doing a lot of reading and have watched a fair number of videos and think I have the concept down. If anyone has any tips or tricks about stroping, transitioning from shavettes or SR's in general I would be happy for the help.

Any idea when your blade comes in?
More importantly, do you have a good cream/soap and brush to go with?David
