Thread: A new face, and a old razor.

So hello all of you, i'm dukejuke for you

Now i have recently found myself wanting to learn shaving with a straight razor, and voila i found an old razor amidst old family stuff. Coincidence or not, it led me here!

Now this little thing here is what i got, the inscription says "Atkinson Bros" and underneath "Sheffield" with an A stamped diagonally downwards from it.

A little internet searching led me to believe this is a quite good razor, once honed and polished to a sheen.
Is this true? The rest of it is fine and in good condition too, little rivets and the uhh sides (??) seem to be in good shape.

So dear forumgoers, what do?
