    I just might take you up on that. I've been watching your YouTube channel for info for a few months. They really helped me decide to go with a straight razor.

    Sounds like good advice, I'll definitely look into this. As of now I have purchased a Van Der Hagen mug and soap set for cheap. I can't use the brush due to being pork and pork product free. I found a Marvy synthetic brush until I can get a decent badger brush. I'm still in the market for a strop and once my straight gets here I' think I'll get it out to Lynn either through the mail or set up a personal meeting as we are only a few hours away.

    If you can, set up a meeting with Lynn. There isn't anything like one on one training, for free on top of that! I wish i lived closer to him but I have to wait until he comes to the Houston area again for a meet. The second razor you got is perfect. It looks like it doesn't have any excessive hone wear or any chips in the blade. You are doing right to get a second one. We can't stress that enough to new members & as for the brush, I prefer badger myself. You are going to be ok, Take advantage of Lynn's offer, you can't go wrong!
