Hi and welcome. As Ed said balsa or the foam core board are easily available and the powders can be gotten directly from Kremer Germany. I have both the Chromium and the iron oxide and it cost 15 shipped to Australia for a couple lifetime's supply of both. In the end a finishing hone is better anyway so maybe save for one in the future. The Ralf Aust is a great razor and many hear have one or more and are generally well thought of. Buying from SRD means that you also get your first rehone free. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask

Thanks everyone! sirstropalot, thank you for the offer! I would really appreciate your time. Please let me know after Christmas a time that will work for you. After looking back over the budget, and realizing I should look into a more quality strop than I first thought and possibly a better brush/soap setup, I am going to go with something from the classifieds for the SR to save a little money in order to upgrade the other items. I will be looking to upgrade to an Aust at a later time. I am excited to get started!

Why don't you hold off on the razor and put the money towards your strop, etc.

I've got a black scale 5/8 round point Aust that doesn't get used. Give it a good home and it's yours.

My daughter and family are coming down from Kansas right after Christmas for maybe a day. Not sure which day yet, so I'll PM you when I have the details. Look forward to it.

Regards,

Howard

Absolutely! Thank you so much. I am blown away by the generosity. I look forward to hearing from you.

Not a problem. One of these days you can help out another member.

I'll get with you soon and we'll work out a day that works for both of us.

I will trump this even more...you so see Howard and I will give you a shave ready razor...but it will be delivered to Howard's house. That way you can spend your $ on a proper strop, brush, and soap. Agree to these terms and I will pick a razor, ensure it's shave ready or hone it & ship it out. It's a bit of paying it forward & ensuring you get off on the right foot.

Merry Christmas!

Edit: Crap, I didn't read ahead and see that the offer was already made to you. Howard, you rock!

Scott, Thank you for the great thought of offering! I am super excited to know I will get started off properly thanks to SRP members!

Scott, I've seen you give a razor so many times I actually looked to be sure you hadn't already done it!
