Pax,
First let me say, you are the coolest girlfriend to take an active part in making your boyfriend happy.

Second, everyone here has given you really good advice.

Third, because I think what you are doing is very cool, may I offer send you a razors or free? I have a 5/8 Morley Clover in Honey Horn that is shave ready. I picked this up for under $5 so I could practice making scales/handles. I have shaved with it and it is a smooth shave. But as i rotate almost 30 razors, this one has been sitting collecting dust for a month. I will disinfect it in barbacide and I'd be happy to send it to you. Just to be clear, if you want the razor it is yours to keep, this is not a loan.

As a new person on this board you may be skeptical, but I have been the beneficiary of other members sending me stuff (scale material, sample soaps and an older razor to practice restoration) for free. And I could always use some good karma.

I've included a picture of the razor for you to take a look. If you are interested, send me message with an address I can ship the razor to.
