I would like to give a very big thumbs up to zib (Rich) for helping a beginner like me to finally get my first shave !
I had bought a straight razor supposedly good for beginners because I wanted to try to experience that awesone kind of shaving but the blade appeared to be in very very bad shape and I could never shave with it.
Not only did Rich offer to hone it and get it shave ready for me, but he did a really good job; my blade now passes the HHT , it is the sharpest thing I have ever seen ^^
So Rich thank you very much for helping me out when I was about to give up on ever trying to shave with a straight razor, and thank you also for the preshave oil you made for me and the shaving cream samples, they are awesome ! :-)
ps : I hope this post is appropriate, I could not find a part of the forum for that but I really thought it was important to acknowledge the kindness and the helpfulness of one of the members of this great forum.
