Hey all,

I have been shaving with a straight razor for about a month now. I have been using a straight I found and a brush that has been used for dusting. The razor has a chip that keeps appearing. I finally gave up removing it and just try to avoid it while shaving. I have been saving for a Murray Carter Japanese straight. My equipment is pretty much wore out. I have decided to get a full set from SRD instead of just a razor. I have a very nice set coming. It may be to nice for a newb(6/8 Bismarck bone). I have some sort of sickness where I keep sharpening always looking for sharper. I am hoping the Bismarck with all the gold platting will keep me from doing this. I am hoping stropping is all that is needed for awhile.
Everything should be here soon! I am really looking forward to next shave. I have been cruising around forum and found answers to questions I haven't thought of yet. See ya later, Kev
