I haven't bought anything from Larry, but know guys that have and, apparently, he is great to deal with.
Let us know how you go

my straight finally turned up from Larry. Very excited to begin shaving with it, I may not use it all the time and I may even give up after a couple of attempts, but it's something I can hand down to my son (or son-in-law).
It's nothing special but it is my first:

The upkeep of a straight seems to be quite high. This doesn't bother me, though the old take-blade-out-place-new-blade-in system has been working well for a while.Just take your time. It's actually quite easy once you ge the hang of it.
I have been straight shaving since Feb, and I can now do a two pass, iritation and blood free shave in about 15 minutes when I used a bigger (6/8 or larger) blade. It's just practice!

I am unsure where I will hang my strop. The wife will want it well hidden. Excited for my first go tomorrow.

AFAIK the Dead Mans Pass and the Fools Pass are one and the same - ATG on the top lip
OUCH - that has gotta hurt!
I've a lot of respect for folks who use these but its a bridge too far for me. Between the setup costs, hassle with maintaining the razor and the huge potential for giving yourself the mother of all 'weepers'. But like I said I've the world of respect for folks who go down this path. The jump from carts to DE's is very small compared to DE's to straights.
