In the late 1970s or early '80s, I was at the mall and they had an "antique" (junk) sale in progress. I bought a straight for something like $20. I was already using Aramis shaving soap as well as their mug and brush. Strop it? Hone it? I had no clue.

Fast forward to early this year. I found SRP and a razor in a lot of BEF (British Expeditionary Force) gear I picked up. I had Lynn hone it, and I was off to the races.
