    Default Nice Xmas prezzie from the misses!

    After about 6 months of shavette shaving my wife treated me to this wonderful blade.
    SRP has already been a huge help with regard to shaving/stropping techniques.
    Happy new year from Australia!

    Thanks Dave,
    I shave my whole head so I would guess it blunts a bit quicker then usual!
    Ive been having a few issues getting close on the chin even after a fresh strop and plenty of face prep.
    Its prob down to a beginner stropping technique as my old shavette ploughed through it.
    Thanks for the welcome,
    Daz

    The chin can always be a challenge a lot of different curves there.
    I hope the razor was shave ready for you, and the stropping comes with time, go slow enough to get it down and you'll be putting a polished edge on great in no time.

    That's great! And you'll get it I'm sure. Stop and flip is a good rule to start with.
    Let me see if I can find the thread here with videos of proper stropping technique
