Thank you. My Morley and Sons "Clover" came in today Just got through cleaning it up a little bit.

I actually went and grabbed some soap to try out today. We'll see how that works out. I've already learned so much just lurking

As you probably know, be sure to get at least a couple of those bad boys pro-honed and pick up a nice strop if you haven't already.

Have fun.

I'm waiting for all of my straights to get here so I can determine which ones I will send to get honed first. I plan on getting a 4000/8000 stone and some more micromesh (I used it to polish up my nibs on my fountain pens...yes, just one more of my collections)

I agree completely!! I did that with my bike, cameras, pens, and now razors I have an appreciation for older things that I can restore.
