Here's a different question for y'all...

I have been straight razor shaving for about 5 weeks give or take. I have 2 Dovo Solingen ⅝ razors, have only used one so far. Since I have a full beard and mustache, is there a smaller straight edge that I can order? I'm talking about the length from heel to toe (I think ). Seem as though it would be easier to manipulate...

You could try a Kamisori as I do when I let my beard grow out.

A while back I saw a small vintage blade with the name Liliput. I can't remember who made it but if you can find one of those, it was a really cool little blade.

I see one of those Liliput razors on the bay right now. Unfortunately the description, which is very funny, makes it unattractive.

“USED, BLADE SLIGHTLY BROKEN”

Probably no short blade options that I can think of. I do have some short, new damascus St Razor blades that I ordered up custom to see if I could make up a type of "trimmer" kind of like a kamisori japanese type st razor but I have not tried to use them yet and they are packed away right now since I just moved. However they will be out and available in two or three weeks. {edited for content}
Do you have all four wet stones for sharpening st razors?

Not to be a wet blanket but sales talk it's prohibited unless you have the right level of paid membership and then only in the classifieds section.

PR, thanks for the info. I don't have any stones for SR sharpening. I understand that to do it correctly is a formidable learning curve though...
