Hello SRP members! I bought a new shave ready straight razor a few months back. It was professionally honed by Lynn. It is a beautiful tool, and I love having it on a stand where I can just look at it and admire the craftsmanship that went into it. I tried making one pass down my cheek with it, but it was pulling on the hairs and not cutting very good, so I haven't used it since. I enjoyed reading C. Moss's book, and that's how I ended up here. There is so much information here, and I am trying to read all the stuff that has been written for beginners like me. Thank you very much! -bongojoel
