Thread: Greetings from Florence italy

Welcome aboard.

Lots of good stuff in the workshop, thread.

Welcome to SRP. Glad to have ya in the group.
I think what Richard was hinting to was the use of the word handle. In razor (and knives) they are called scales. This is nothing to worry about as we all know what you mean, but learning the proper names of the razor will help you to communicate better.

And if english is not your first language that is ok too. We have members from all over the world and we learn to understand. Its just part of the fun in the forum. So dont worry about that and do the best you can.

We love pictures and if you post up what you do we can help to refine your skills in making scales properly. There are a lot of details that most people miss when making them.

Do you wet shave? Use a straight razor now? You live in an area that is known for some fine razors so you should be able to find some great vintage stuff and quality soaps easy. Join in on the fun and check out the librbary it can help you in many ways.

Welcome to the forum, Riccardo! Plenty of information and helpful members here to assist you with your restoration work.

Love your (neighboring) town of Firenze! My favorite authority on espresso here in the United States, David Schomer, took major inspiration from his travels to Florence 30+ years ago when developing his northern Italian style of roast for his fondness of brewing ristretto style shots.

Fast forward to just a few years ago, and a local Gonzaga University art graduate comes out with topographical art featuring Spokane, and Florence. What a small world:

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome. Florence has to be one of my favorite cities in the world.

Hello Riccardo, a warm welcome.

Hello Riccardo and welcome to SRP.
Enjoy the forum.

Welcome. Florence is indeed the place to look for classical arts and artisan crafts. You can for instance look for inspiration (and may be cooperation) in this Florence-based shop: I COLTELLI DELL'ARTIGIANO.

Welcome.

I also wish to create my own razor scales. Reading the material available on the topic here shows that it involves equal parts creativity, craftsmanship and technical knowledge. This is a journey and I have a lot to learn from the incredibly knowledgable and generous folks on SRP.

It’s good to know there are others journeying with me.
