I just got my 5/8 Ralf Aust and Latigo Strop from the website. Good shippping, excellent communication. The quality and condition of the products are beyond reproach. I just had my smoothest SR shave ever and this razor will be my benchmark going forward. For the negative comments below, I don't see it. Lynn tests his blades on his own face before sending it out (he disinfects it too of course). Many consider him to be the foremost honemeister in the world and quite simply a gentleman.
