I started to second guess myself but LYNN and all of you here have confirmed that I did quite well and I'm totally relieved to know that.

Thanks!

Thanks Mark,

Hope I didn't offend ya. My reply was directed to all that ask such questions as this is an open forum and not just you. I was in your shoes not too long ago. Best advice I can give ya is to study up on razors and only purchase with confidence. There are tons of razors out there and you should feel good about your purchase. In time you will be able to identify a good deal when they come along. Just starting out looking for good deals has a high potential to leave the buyer with less than they expected.

Good luck with your purchase. I'm sure it will be a prise possession after Lynn puts an edge on it. I have a few that Lynn honed and they hold a special place in my collection.

JOED,

Hey man, no offense was taken. No worries

I certainly am looking forward to using it. I know very little about this subject and more in other areas. Sooo. that being said, it's always nice to be a part of forums and we can all learn from eachother.

If you have any questions or would like to bounce something off someone feel free to PM me.

Awesome!! Thanks. You can be sure that I will. I'd like to add a couple more to practice my honing and stropping before touching up my SOLINGEN.

It's great to have "go to" people. Thanks for volunteering !
