After 3 months of at least an hour each night practicing my sharpening technique/skills I have taken the step to see how far I've come. So last night I ordered a Gold Dollar razor with free P&P for £6. I have spent a lot of time in the forums over these past months and also watching videos on youtube to keep me on the right track. I think that aside from striving to get the perfect shave, the culture and community on these forums is what makes shaving no longer a chore but a great hobby. After trying various stones and techniques I found I have the most success with lapping film on a marble tile (thanks for videos Slash McCoy).
