Howdy all, I've seen links here from the knife forums and now that I'm moving away from the "Disposable World". I'm a line cook that has a addiction to carbon steel knives. The thought of getting an older straight razor for shaving has me all excited.

One thing I have noticed is that there is not alot of info out there on the anatomy of the razor itself (that I could find). I see all these numbers the members use here but they dont tell me anything. Yup I'm greener than green here... I dug around the library and found nothing, had to request the only book in the system from another branch, a collecters book.

Anyway I'll sign off on my first post and keep reading up on the steel here
