Thread: Nice Xmas prezzie from the misses!

I have near enough the exact same blade.. It is a real beauty and they hold a great edge.. Lucky you

That's a beautiful razor and a very thoughtful gift.
Congratulations and enjoy!
Happy New Year!

You must have been a good boy :<0) 1 thing I will add, there is no such thing as too much stropping !

That's a beaut. From what I have been reading, some "shave ready" razors still need a little honing.

Welcome aboard and and G'day from Gladstone Daz,
Where in QLD are you mate, there are lots of Qlders on SRP and there may be someone close who can help mentor you to get you on the right track, transitioning from the shavette to the full str8 especially with stropping
Cheers Dion

Hi and welcome, sweet looking Christmas present for sure, congrats.

G'day Dion,

Im up in Townsville, Ive had a good search around for a honer the local barber uses but there pretty scarce!

Thanks for the welcome!
Its obviously a quality blade which is why I'm scared to death when i strop let alone start honing.
The local barber hosts lessons every few months so no doubt that will be useful.
Maybe even some guidance on a starter kit (pastes, stones etc).
Ive seen some comprehensive threads on here but haven't the balls to give it a go, especially as I know the price of the razor!
