    My new english leather IV strop from SRD just arrived. I swear I'm worse than my dog standing by the window waiting for the mailman when I'm waiting on something new.

    MattCB, very nice finds, some nice razors & hones there.
    MajorEthanolic, I understand but I just try not to think about it until the mailman arrives. I don't know how I'm going to react when I know my Michael Waterhouse razor is on it's way!

    Default RAD, if I don't hurt anyone, is it so bad?

    Nice shaped Grieves, but the campy, one pin and probably wedgeless, corn cob scales convinced me.

    MattCB, Nice hones. I had been looking at Craftsman hones recently and wondering what they are like. Have you tried yours yet?

    I just recently saw that Greaves on eBay. Those scales originally come from a Lakeside corncob straight razor. I have one. I would change those if I were you & make some custom scales. I looked at that razor several times but backed off. To each his own though.

    Finally broke down and bought a Chosera 1k from SRD today, hoping it's a step up bevel setter than my Norton. Also got a little coticule slurry stone on the way to partner up with my new found coti combo that I am still trying to get the hang of............

    Awww, I thought it went with the "sheaf works" stamping.

    That's what I've been looking for, so I took a chance on this one last week, it looks pretty rough, hopefully it will clean up nicely...we'll see.
