Received something, to me, rather exciting in the mail - a LA Shaving BBS-1 DE razor.
It arrives in a box and all wrapped up with your serial number on the wrapping paper.
Mine is the 277th BBS-1 razor made;
The first thing that probably strikes you when you have unwrapped the razor is the shine.
This...thing...is....FLAWLESS!
Absolutely amazing polishing (remember these are not chrome plated but polished steel) - potentially the best I've ever seen.
The serial number and engraving on the base plate adds to that feeling of you having bought something rather special.
...and yes the flawless polish and finish includes the inside of the top cap
Great looking razor, beautiful design and oozing of quality...
Can't wait to try it out.
The razor also came with a slew of free products which was a very nice touch by LA Shaving.

Are you going to practice stropping with a dinner knife or something similar in the meantime?

I am indeed....while watching YouTube AND reading the forums. Preparation, preparation, preparation.

The practice will help the muscle memory kick in.It all falls into place gradually and you will find your own way of doing things which makes it unique to yourself.
