Nigel, you can borrow one of me. Hell you can borrow a strop aswell (a crappy one, that it doesn´t mater if you nick it, I allready done that for you :lol: ). Larry is a cool dude though, crazy texan in a good way. Neil is da man though, for me at least, but Larry is cheap (if you want a piece of leather and a straight with a good edge) :mrgreen: . But then again, if you ask Neil, I´m sure he has a couple of good starter blades that´s not on his site ... You only need to pay shipping if you go with me ...
