It has come 'shave ready' - the previous owner apparently used the following preparation before sending it to me:

Naniwa Superstone 3k
Naniwa Superstone 5k
Ohishi 8k
Arkensas natural, CroX and stropping

So, do I have a shave or two before I have the nick sorted or afterwards? Ideas on a postcard...


Ben I would refrain from stropping the razor especially with the small nick as it will mark your new strop.
