Thank you very much for the extensive feedback. I'll definitely look at his videos! I have purchased a flexible strop but will look after a wooden one as well, they are very cheap and available at our local eBay variety. They also have the green paste (jacaré) and I'll go and purchase them both. I'll also see if I can find the chromium oxide powder. Can't thank you enough!

All vintage razors have a story; they are all special.

I've thought of what I've written right after and you are right. I just meant is not a rare, luxury-brand razor but it most definitely carries a story with it.

Some of the most humble looking razors turn out to be great shavers.
