I've had my eye on that RA for awhile now and have pretty much decided on getting it. Thought I'd get the razor & strop package from SRD and upgrade to a 3" strop. I have plenty of different soaps and creams and way more brushes than I need. I have new ones and also vintage that I have re-knotted. My wife picked me up a Wester De-Fi with end bolsters at an antique mall awhile back. Not sure if it's something that can be used or not. Thought I might have Lynn or someone look at it and see what they think. I thought I could maybe use it for stropping and honing practice if nothing else.

Post some pics of it, and your thoughts in show and tell.
Lots here can tell you if its worth it.
Probably is.

Good advice all around. Welcome aboard! Not much to add except, if you can get a mentor nearby, you will see dramatic improvements in a short amount of time. Make sure to put yourself on the map. We have some great members and I'm sure some are nearby.
