I have been a DE user for the last 2 or so years, and can confidently say that I have mastered the skill. Consistantly getting great shaves, quickly and efficiently. Time for a challenge.
I have been cruising the bay, and the forums here looking for the best way to get started, and pulled the trigger on a ebay auction which netted me a Straight that is in good condition, and a few other bits. Pictures here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...ebruary-2012?p=3860357&highlight=#post3860357
Being a novice I have also placed an order from Larry for a sight unseen deal, so I will have the basics of what I need, in good working order as the strop that came with the other auction was not worth bothering with. I am currently waiting for that to arrive.
Johnmrson has kindly offered to hone the wug for me, so I have sent it down to him for some TLC.
My ebay finger got itchy again and pulled the trigger on a NOS SansSoucci Straight, one of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/30066491...sid=p3984.m1439.l2649&clk_rvr_id=317508296700 Now waiting for that to arrive, and on a Gold Dollar to see what all the fuss was about.
I then said to myself. "hmm, I'm going to need to hone these razors...." So I bought a coticule and a slurry stone....
All this before I have laid blade to face.....
I think I'm a gonner. Is there any cure for SRAD?
I'll update when I actually manage to get started!
