Thread: Anyone from UK,Scotland

To all who replied..very friendly forum and many thanks for all advice.

Hope I have not jumped too soon,but have just ordered the beginners hone set from Tilly(nice lady)..have a strop..razor I have I think I have destroyed,tried honing before reading this forum using a normal hone..so

Have my eye on a few razors on ebay at present but unsure how good or bad they are...and embarrasing enough a number of members on this board are bidding...so I dont really wish to "compete" halwilson is on at least 3 of them.

Again thanks for all help and advice.

You MAY still be able to save it. If you just dulled the blade without chipping it, you should be able to hone it with some extra elbow-grease. If you chipped it, then you can still use it as a practice piece for honing, but you'll have to get yourself a new blade to actually shave with.

Irish,

Don't let the fact that members are bidding stop you from bidding. In fact the fact that members are bidding is a good thing, it shows you have made a good choice of a razor to bid on. The reality of the situation is you are probably doing us a favor as we are too addicted to buying razors anyway.

I'm in on a couple as well. One would be a perfect mate for the DOVO handle and the other would be great on its own. Not providing any details until the auctions are over

I bet it is one of those Rockwell jems, right

I wish Actually it's this piece of crapola, made of Sheffield steel... Whatever that is

Actually, there is another brand of nice razors, Venus, also from Pakistan, you can try those... Hey, this is all ugly and rusty

pozdrav,

But I had my heart set on another blade made by true sons of mother-Deutcheland, Habib and Azif Ah well, this wood-cutter's axe will have to do :P

P.S. Thanks are in order. Nenad gave me the heads up. I'll have to do something nice for him when I go to Macedonia to visit my family

Just kidding, you got very nice razor, for nice price, too... Enjoy it

Nenad

edit: My pleasure, just don't bring angry face and that razor if you don't like it

Naaaa... If I don't like it, I'll come with an angry face and my Pakistani Solingen Wonder. It may even come close to doing some damage :P
