Macau shaver, I'm in Korea so I know what you mean. I think there is someone closer than me that could help you. I think we have members in Taiwan also. I don't have a bevel setter but I would just ask larry at whipped dog. His international rates are good and he'll have them sent out to you. If not you can pick up some Gold dollars ( and make sure they lie flat.I know someone sells them fixed and all) and practice.

And honing is not that far, just remember bevel setting is most important and were all here to help. Rehoning depends on the user. Weve had a TI razor go for 135 shaves and a GD for 76. Just focus on technique and you won't need honing for a while. When your lost just ask!

Just a quick off topic question. I am new to the straights at 40 years old. I have a strop and pastes but my question is how often I need to get my razor rehoned, I live in Asia so this requires shipping as the necessary skills don't apparently exist here of a high quality.

I bet your new to forums at 40 years old too aren't you mate the thread was only 8 years old. I recommend buying a barbers hone or a cheap coticule bout to touch your blades up with.

Yes, and you can get them cheaper if you buy them 8 years ago
