Hello everyone form the place where the weather can never make up it's mind..... Mississippi..!!!!

Welcome to the forum, you're in the right place. As for your small collection, we like pictures

Hello Chunky River! Your a little far south of me up here but we can always offer help. Enjoy and read all you can in the library. There really isn't a question that hasn't been asked. I see you collect but do you shave with them? Tc

Thanks for the welcome....

I have always wanted to try to shave with a straight razor. I may have to give a try at least once.... If I survive that attempt... who knows.

I see you have all sorts of info in regards to shaving here... what a Wonderful place...

Yep, been down the Chunky many times....

When you decide to try straight razor shaving, send the razor you intend to use to a professional and get it boned and ready the right way. You’ll be thankful you did

I dabbled in reenacting for a while in the 1980's and there was ONE guy that always used a straight razor in camp to shave. I always wanted to try it.

You will find this is mostly a shaving site, we do not like razors not being used.

Ya send one back it to be honed and give it a whirl, after all that's what their for,must sitting in a box is just scrap metal. Tc

Welcome Mike. Glad to ha e ya as one of the group. Get a razor honed and learn to shave and strop. Baby steps my friend. It takes time.

Oh... sorry.
So, no collectors here? Only users?
I sure don't want to offend anyone.
