  2. My hard thing is not buying straights. There's 2 shops a couple of blocks away that have a handfull of vintage straights I want to get, I know one is a Japanese wedge, and the others I haven't opened the boxes to look at yet. It's taking everything I have to keep from going shopping. As far as need, I have very little in my den, and keeping comfortable is the most important. I sliced my hand to shreds making that buckle for my handmade strop because I didn't want to buy one.....

  3. I find menthol to be awesome for sensitive skin or to prevent razor burn. I made some menthol infused glycerin so it can be added to any lather and you can adjust the strength of the menthol. menthol crystals are a good thing to have around as there are so many uses for it. also, cold water shaves cut down irritation for me big time.YMMV
  4. Well if it makes you feel any better the strop did end up looking great :)
  5. strop does look nice.
    buy away now, out is out.

  9. The fear of @david of central florida is the only thing keeping me from slipping
  10. after the soap box I've stepped up on, I'd be afraid to fall off.

    I didn't hanker for this stuff near as much before I said I wouldn't buy.
