Thread: Sigh...

I bought new razors today... I have spent very little on this new hobby of mine and I was very proud of myself, but now I'm back at square one after coming so far. I'll post pictures when they arrive.

Hey Duz Is the sigh for having dove in and spent the coin? Are the new blades from a seller that hones and delivers them shave ready? I ask, 'cause if they aren't well honed, the disappointment could be substantial. There's plenty of guys that'll hone a usable blade for just the cost of postage. PM me or others that do so if you need a hand. Now - to the real stuff: PICS, MAN! What did you get? We need eye-candy! 'Hope they satisfy when they arrive.

Well, what I bought was:

1. Norvell Shapleigh Hdwe Snap #35 cracked handle has bee repaired w/box
2. Edmond Raffler #11 France Gold tone blade w/ Box
3. Duble Duck Dwarf Germany
4. Mahler & Gros Toledo, O Toledo blade
5. Motor City Charm Detroit Made in Germany
6. Gill Pumacker New York Black Diamond Wedge

The Hone is a: Keen Kutter Kombination Razor Hone No: K20 w/ tin case

Safety Razor no name brand no Box
Gem Safety Razor w/ Box. Box is pretty humble

I didn't spend too much, but I shouldn't have spent the money to begin with. I just kept closing the page, then opening it again, then closing it, etc... I finally just gave up and bought it. Right now most of my shaving stuff was won in a giveaway; outside of my strop and a few odds and ends I haven't dropped a lot of coin on this hobby. I'm trying very hard to keep this from becoming like my other hobbies--where I dump lots of money on things, but never find the time to use them.

I really only shave every three or four days so I don't need a lot of stuff. If worse comes to worse maybe I'll keep the hone and sell off the rest.
