Lovely looking thing. first impressions are its not as big and unwieldy as i thought it would be. that's a good thing though. View attachment 32600 View attachment 32601
It feels quite comfortable and maneuverable in the hand, not got a strop yet so going to have one shave, cheeks to begin with then see how it goes.
Thanks again to Billy

Congratulations!
You've chosen wisely for a first razor.
Straight shaving is not that difficult, takes a bit of practice that's all.
A few frustrations will happen along the way & then it'll click.
I started out with a paddle strop from this chap:

It turned out to be a very good buy, learning the stropping action is much easier with a paddle and although I now prefer a hanging strop, it is great for travelling. When I did get a hanging strop the action was learned & only a few mishaps so far. Peter uses top quality leather/canvas too for about £15 delivered.
Perfect, the important stuff is all sorted.Cheers JayGee. yep that's exactly what I'm getting
As well as a hanging one
