Now, if we could just get Bill to quit running Robert off, we would have a very entertaining combination.

Crazy? What are you saying? I'm dead serious. I feel that I would rather appreciate your support than your 'labelling', thank you very much... We all have issues you know. I think I might need a support person from The Straightrazorplace.com Forum Posters Assistance Program to be present during this conversation if you're going to get personal...

The razor I used, Joseph Rogers "Hamburg Ring" 5/8, was an eBay special that I bought for $19.95. The razor came with cracked scales, some rust,and a blade so dull I couldn't cut warm butter with it (I really tried, just to level-set my honing). I purchased another cheap razor (it had chips in the blade, but the scales were near perfect) for $4 at an antique store. I unpinned the Rodgers, cleaned up the blade, re-pinned with the the $4 scales and honed my little heart out (Naniwa Superstones - 2K, 5K, 8K and 12K) finished with Crox on an Illinois Russian Strop and shaved with it today for the first time. Incredible BBS shave!...

Oh wow. You're like the Rain Man of newbies! Not only excellent refurbishing and honing skills, but also sound financial and business skills.
Are you a 'ring in'?

Just jokes. Welcome!
