Old man trying to learn more about a rekindled addiction...affliction....interest
Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and really interested in learning more straight razors.
My wife purchased a Dovo 6/8 Gioiello del Barbiere as a gift for me over 30 years ago. I attempted to get into the straight razor "lifestyle" but I was doing a lot of travel, not making much money and finding information to support this effort was next to impossible. Knowledge at your fingertips (internet) was unavailable to me back then. Anyway, I saved it away and recently came across it while looking for something else and it got me to thinking...
I've had an interest in them for a while but just hadn't taken the time to get into the meat and potatoes on the subject. I have recently retired and now have the time to do so. Looking forward to conversations with the knowledgeable folks on the forum.
