The razor was waiting on me when I got home last night. Tried it this morning. It was the most comfortable shave I've ever had. Absolutely love the razor. Love all the DR Harris stuff too.

Just got in Lynn's DVD on the world of straight razor shaving. I'm a newbie and hope thi s will help with the steep learning curve.
I fell in love with 'Taylor of old Bond street' shaving creams early on in my straight razor journey. I ordered three months ago a Peppermint Luxury shaving cream. the cold feel of the menthol and the lack of oiliness you get with others made this an irresistible choice. I am now expecting two more plus another TOBS Eton College.
Just picked this up when I was getting new front mounts for the car.

Never seen scrubbies with a grit rating before, only fine, med, coarse etc..
Will give these a go with various first pass pastes and oils, see how it does on razors and scales that don't need much more than wet sanding.
Might be a good transition media going from greaseless buffs to hand work..
