I have just recently purchased my first shave ready razor, a Bourdier 5/8 I believe ( no photo as yet). I got this from Sharp and Shiny ( member) and would like to thank him for his time and generosity in sharing much of his knowledge and wisdom to a newbie like myself. I find it refreshing that there is a forum available to newcomers like myself, where the members take the time and interest to pass on their accumulated knowledge to people they don't even know. Brilliant! So I'd like to thank Paul and hope to receive more wisdom from him in my journey to learning straight razor shaving. All the best and keep well my friends
