Thank you very much. You helped me a great deal. The only thing to do now is to read a couple of threads about cleaning and find somebody to hone it for me. If someone knows somebody from Austria i would greatly apreciate it. I want to know what shave ready feels like before i try and hone it myself, so i will know roughly what i should be aiming for. Well there is a long journey in front of me and i know i am going to enjoy every minute of it :-) Thanx again.
