G'Day and welcome, John.

I'd have to agree with Hirlau - it's never too early to get started.

When you get your razors and if you can't find anyone in NZ to hone them for you, I'll do one or two gratis if you want to post them to me with a return envelope.

I think Eisenfaust will probably be able to help you though. I know there are other New Zealanders here - I just can't think of their usernames ATM

Let us know how you go
