Thank's for the welcome guys! I'm sure I'll be posting some questions once I actually receive my razor . Actually the bonus of having to wait for it is I can do a lot more research here before the time comes to put steel to skin. Thank you kindly for the links as well, I'll be sure to watch em all and learn. The stropping is one thing I am particularly interested in, hopefully I pick up the technique quickly (and without wrecking the strop or dulling the razor).

Cheers,
Stew
