Thread: New in perth

G'day and welcome to the forum and straight shaving.

There is always something to buy if you're up for it. Ed Hewitt had set up on the lighter side where as I seem to be the opposite with the most by far. Im not far from you in Gosnells so if you need help give me a shout. Was the razor shave ready. There isn't really anywhere in Perth to get a razor honed except for 1 barber that I know of. Others do it but have bad reviews.

Yes its shave ready. Wipe of the oil and it's ready to go. I got it from a guy in Victoria. He restores them.

Yes its shave ready. I like to buy things. Looking for cool stuff on the Internet is one of my pass times. It's one of the draw backs of working from home.

My wife works? from home and we always seem to have packages arriving. I keep threatening to take the credit card away.

It can become a habit that's hard to break.you start watching things and wanting them. I'm currently looking at a strop razer and scuttle. Plus two motor bikes .another strop from a local manufacturer. Pity I'm a bit cash poor at the moment

Who is the local strop maker i haven't heard of anyone

A guy is making them in armadale. They are the paddle type. I missed the strop on ebay today. It had a scuttle strop and razor included. The joys of Internet shopping

Now I know who you mean. Not sure how that works for razors. They have been mentioned before but no one has brought one yet. Just checked his Gumtree ad and if it has smooth blemish free surface it should be fine. Might be an idea to visually inspect before purchasing. Let me know how you go
