Not too long I started shaving with a Dovo Shavette. I liked it but since I've been using a Merker safety razor for quite some time now and the shavette was using the same blades I did not find that much difference in the closeness of the shave...however it allow to get used to the completely different manor shaving with a different style of razor. I.E. the straight edge style.
Last week I aquired my grand father's straight edge and I have a few questions;

Attachment 180971Attachment 180970Attachment 180969Attachment 180968
1) The box is blue with gold lettering and says FRAM on it. However no where on the straight edge does it say FRAM. It does say SOLINGEN and on tang it says BEST SILVER STEEL - SOLINGEN.
* So is it a FRAM ? How old would it be? 1930's 1940's? Being my grand father's, that era fits.
2) I would like to use it but I know absolutely nothing on high to make it shiney and sharp again and ready to shave my face with it.
I've been looking in my area for someone to do just that...So far only found 1 place and I would have to mail them the razor. Two week turn around.
I would do it myself if I was actually with someone who could show me how to do it. I live in the Toronto area (Canada)
If anyone has ANY suggestions, please let me know
