Thanked: 13245OK a little voice of reason here, first off welcome to SRP.... Great to see somebody with such enthusiasm
Do you have a strop, shave soap, brush already???? otherwise this might very well be the shortest most uncomfortable thing you might ever experienced for $50...

LOL no but i wouldnt shave with it until i have aquired the neccesary accessories ofcourse. itll probably take me a week or 2 to scrape together appropriate strops lathers honing/slurry stones . i already have some but not intended for razors.
im one of those people who's money burns holes in there pockets, so if i dont get the razor while i have the money, i never will, and once i get the razor, ill get addicted and probably blow every spare dime on shaving accessories for a few months, until i have a whole shelf full of goodies
dang i found a couple i wanted to ask about but my post with them didnt go through for some reason

what do you guys think about that, ive heard/read several times bokers are nice, and im partial to the imprint on the blade.... its really the only intact boker ive seen for <60
ok say you had to choose between that boker, the fama solingen, or the blues seal spike point.( the ones that veedubb linked to above)
i think im down to those three choicesLast edited by The0ctopus; 05-03-2009 at 06:03 AM.

Oh man… isn’t this a great place?… no matter where you are in the forums, if you hang out long enough, it’s bound to put a smile on your face.

Thanked: 317This is truly the most helpful and generous forum I have ever encountered. I had another member, who I'd only just started talking to, offer to send me a DMT hone for setting a bevel. Completely unasked for, and unlooked for, although very much appreciated.
Being generous and kind is just like being stingey and rude. Both are highly contagious.

Thanked: 234Another example of fine SRP generocity!
I couldn't count the number of razors, brushes, free honing offers etc that have been offered here even in the short time I've been a member, and I have been lucky enough to recieve some of that generocity and hopefully will pass it on sooner or later.
Congratulations 0ctopus!
