If I'm understanding you right, I have to say I'm a little alarmed. First of all, you don't take the blaade from the thumbnail to your face. The thumbnail...
That's up to you. Almost all of us hone ourselves. As a minimum, you would need a fine hone, like a Swaty or a pasted strop with 1 or .5 micron paste. You...
... face. you mean to tell me that I shouldn't be trimming my toenails with my straight razor before my shave? I wonder if that's why I haven't always been...

Hi, Don't worry, that razor will be an excellent razor for whomever receives it. I would recommend that you have it honed though as razors are generally not...
Hi........I own a 5/8 Red Stamina Thiers-Isaard razor which actually is my second razor and really like it. I bought the 5/8 because, as you did, I researched...
That TI 6/8 is a great beginner razor and for that matter just a really nice razor and shaver in general. Not sure on the stand and Bill's recommendation to...
Thank you all for your help and very fast respones! This is a Christmas gift, so I just placed my order online from classicshaving in hopes that I will...
... I hope you read this. I'd suggest that, if you didn't already do it, you modify your order and check the option to have it honed. Lynn Abrams (the...
Excellent idea Glen but am curious what the turnaround time is for sending a blade to Lynn during this time of year with the mail being backed up. I guess she...
Thanks Lynn, Glen and Bill. I did already place my order this afternoon. I was confused about whether the razor was already honed or not. From the posts and...
Carol, You can call ClassicShaving tomorrow because they won't process your order until tomorrow. If you also got the stand from them you can inquire about...
Classic provides a service where they send it to Lynn for honing for a fee and it will be more than ready when it comes back. EL has made a great offer in his...
