Thread: Trouble Starting Out with Straight Razor

I cant actually read the name of the razor on the box or see a tang stamp, but it just has that look that says "Made in Crapistan". Hopefully I am wrong.

Master USA is unfortunately on the list of brands to avoid here.If the razor were a quality shave ready blade you may experience some burn, but should still shave even without any prep. If you add your location to your profile, someone nearby may be able to lend some hands-on assistance. It sounds like you have been pretty patient and persistent with attempting to get a shave going. You might check the classifieds for a quality shave ready blade. You can find them priced pretty reasonably.

Sounds like what you have there is a conversation piece. I am betting you would really like to give a real straight a try. If so find someone in your area or post your location and we will find you :<0) This is a great way to shave.
