Thanked: 983G'day Dean and welcome to the forum. What brand of cut-throat did you get yourself? Oh yes, don't be afraid to use our terminology for these razors, everyone knows what we mean weather, we use the words cut-throat, open, straight or any of the abbreviations like CT, str8 etc.
Feel free to ask any questions you have, as there is always someone around who shaould be able to make an educated guess at an answer for you.

Thanked: 1587Welcome welcome . Given we are such a big country, I would think that if ever there was a need for face to face meet ups or help something like Skype could be used. I believe the Americans have used it to good effect in the past.
