Thread: looking to do full restore now where should i buy supplies?

I ended up not getting any

I would call that a sound decision, what with having a baby on the way, being unemployed and in school full time - messing about with razors is pretty low priority, in my opinion.

I think you have shown great wisdom, FWIW.

In my own quest for affordable supplies, I've been combing the Internet for sandpaper sources -- as the SRP Wiki teaches, I searched for silicon carbide sandpaper that can be used wet or dry. Without exception, they're either selling 5- or 10-sheet packages of single-grit 9"x11" sheets (or smaller! often, half- or quarter-sheets) for $10 or more, or an "assortment" of four-or-five different grits (one sheet, each), in small sizes, for $10. Phooey! and not on my poor-man's budget. Then, I found this offering, on eBay:

25 Sheets Sandpaper WET DRY 9x11 Sand Paper any grit 150-2500 Silicon Carbide

For all of $13.50 + $6 S/H

As that satellite-TV ad goes, "I jump in it!"

Have you tried this paper yet, JB?

Thanks JB, I'm tired of being racked over the coals for 1500 & 2000 paper down here.
