    My aim is to be able to maintain the edge myself, but I don’t want to get into bevel-setting and razor restauration myself.

    I have noone local at hand who could hone my razors for me, and I don’t really want to entrust a straight razor to the postal service.

      I don’t want to get into bevel-setting and razor restauration myself.

      I think I fall in between. Setting a bevel doesn’t scare me, but I don’t have the bandwidth to start restoring old blades. That being said, I have a bunch of scales and a couple blades I planned to fit them on, but I never seem to find the time 🙂.

      I don’t really want to entrust a straight razor to the postal service.

      Eh, that’s what insurance is for IMO
