So my mother, who is terrible at purchasing gifts, asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told her a gift card to one of the online shaving retailers and on Monday I received my new Böker Silver Steel and an American Mountain 3" Strop with D Rings, Black Latigo Leather. The Silver Steel was indeed "shave ready" and I admit to being a touch overzealous Monday evening. Therefore, my face was a bit sore yesterday, but it really was the smoothest shave I've gotten. Especially on the tricky spots on my neck where the hair grows in every direction.
Once I get my technique down, I'm certain it won't take me 45 minutes and a multitude of passes. It was just too much fun. I have a Whipped Dog sight unseen flawed straight as well, but because of my lack of stropping skill, I dulled the razor and have to have it honed. Then I will have two in my rotation. I hope I can keep the SRAD in check but some of these razors are incredibly beautiful.
Thank you to everyone on this site. Your advice, even if you don't know it's being used, has been invaluable.
