Just decided to take the whiskers off "the old fashion way" 2 weeks ago. Read up on it, watched several vids, made the necessary purchases and off I went. After 3 shaves with my new "shave ready" razor, I had it honed professionally by Leonard who did an outstanding job. My 4th got her down to that "BBS" perfection! Leonard (forgot his username!) referred me to this site and I am thoroughly enjoying this wealth of information! Dan
