    Default Hi guys

    Hi All,
    Im Sergey. And new to the world of SR shaving..
    Ordered my first straight razor ( C'MON Cadillac) from
    Atlanta Barber and Beauty Supply Home Page
    I figured $70 is an OK DEAL CONSIDERING NOWDAYS PRICES
    What do you guys think?

    Hello Sergey Looks like you might have a good razor. Send it to one of our "Honemeisters" to get the best sharp edge, and learn to strop.

    Hi, it will be good razor after honing! I see that you have Slavic name, if you want I can recommend you very good honing-master in Ukraine or Russia, in case if you live somewhere near, than you will able to save on shipping cost (PM me)!
    Have a great start!
    Andrey!

    Btw I'm also prefer to stay away from that shop, and I hope you haven't buy strop from them. But off course it's just my IMHO

    HI ,
    I am in New York now ... via Ukraine ...
    Thanks for the advice.
    I am sensing from the replies that I didn't make a very good choice with this razor ...
    I also got Dovo Russian Type XL Cowhide Hanging Razor Strop for $70 .
    I might be getting "collecting" bug ...
    Last night I purchased Dove Bismark 7/8 ( White Bone for under $200) and Wacker "Antik" ( $329)...
    Just couldn't help myself

    Wow, quick start. Dovo make good strops and razors you can't miss with them! Now you have really great razors, but still if they sells them just with factory edge, you need to hone them before use.

    i don't know any places in nyc that hone razors. there are a couple folks in the rochester area that do though... joed and holli4pirating... you can probably find them and others in the member services area of the classifieds.
