what do yall think of my purchase? i hope it was a good one
I never used those packages myself but from what I heard, they are good yes.
jonjon that is enough to keep you busy for a while. Just make sure you practice stropping so you won't have to worry about rolling the edge.
I learned to strop using a butter knife on a belt before I even touched the real thing.

well guys, i just had my first shave, not too bad, couple nicks but thats just cus of bumps on my face. My chin was the hardest part. Also i couldnt get a good lather going. I need to find a place to get some decent shave soap. I got a bar from walmart but that wasnt too good. Any ideas on brick and mortar stores around here that sells some? overall a good shave, only i did WTG because it was my first time. My gf said it looked good
