Didn't have much fun with it today though, I wish someone told me alum was French for napalm!! Definitely need to work at my technique haha...

Welcome Dan, French is a wonderful language as you know for instance the feminine for straight razor is "small torture device" but the masculine is "small torture device that drives the wife nuts".

Haha turns out mine was a torture device, not quite as 'shave ready' as claimed...

Got to wait until next week when my actually shave ready vintage 6/8 Kropp is delivered before I can send it for honing

Beginners problems huh!...

Usually. There are several members on your side of the pond that may be close to you, it may be possible for you to get together with one or two of them for some one-on-one mentoring, Neil Miller would be the man to see if I were you.
