Hi guys,

I would love to try a real straight - been using a de for about 8 months now, and started to use a shavette as a step to a true straight as I didnt want to go and spend loads on all the gear to find out i couldnt master it!

If your happy (ive only made a few posts) then I would love to join in here!

Cheers
Simon

I'll need to get it honed before I pass it on - I slightly mullered it by not stropping properly. This may not happen until after Christmas...

No problem - im in no hurry - slowly getting used to the shavette!

Ken, if you want to send it to me, I'll re-hone FOC it and send it on. Let me have a PM with who it needs to go to and I'll respond with my address.
 
Hello all. Sorry for the radio silence - it's been a pretty scroogeish January, and I couldn't afford to get the thing honed. I was waiting until the next paycheque to get it done.

However, I've just read UKRob's message, which is mighty generous indeed. If the offer still stands, I'll gladly take you up on it - can you PM me your address?

If not, I'll wait until I get paid in a week or so, then send it to get honed from straightrazorplace or somewhere and on to Dendass (can you PM me your address?)
 
Cheers Rob and cheers guys for trying it out! If it's dammaged or not taking an edge, please lmk Rob and I'll toss in a new razor to the next guy...
 
Ken, it's all part of the fun of using a Str8! If you read between the lines... You'll find that we have all these different Hones and Strops because no one razor works best with the strop or hone that it's brother razor worked best with!
That's why you find all the Grind Marks on the old ones. Back in '00 you just gave it to your friendly Knife Grinder to put it to the Wheel!
