To follow up from my earlier thread: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/432221-Setting-Myself-Up-For-Success-(First-Timer)
My start-up kit finally came! I am currently deployed, so mail takes anywhere from 2-5 weeks to get to me. I had ordered 2 strops, a pasted balsa, and 2 Gold Dollars from Buca in the Hobbyist forum as well as slightly nicer Tennis (still in shipment). Yesterday was a mail day and I had been anxiously awaiting it, hoping my razors would be here. After everyone got their mail...no dice. You can imagine my delight when, as I lay my head down to go to sleep, I heard "Mail Call". I woke up this morning to find a package on my desk and in it were two great-looking razors, two nice starter strops, and my balsa!! I have been practicing a solid lathering routine and slowly building in more and more time into my morning ritual to prepare for Day 1. Tomorrow I will report the results...
