I am officially in the game
Hi guys
First I would like to said thanks to all the members that welcome me to this great forum.
In my introduction post I was a wannabe but as the title of the thread said I am officially in the game, this morning I went to pick up a Bambola I got in a sort of blind bougth since the pic of the seller were very bad and I could not identify the razor, end up it was a Bambola 205 not in the best condition but as a lover of vintage stuff and knowing it is a good razor I guess is a humble start in the hobby (if is wright call it that way, please correct me if I wrong).
In a conversation with the seller he told me about another razor he still have some were, he finally found a Gebr Weyersberg Corneta 6000, although it was in a worst condition than the Bambola I decided to get it too.
He also gave me some empty boxes with the promise of call me if he find another hide treasure.
So three days after my first attempt I end up with two Straight (restaurable) razors, a stropper and a few empty boxes to complete the set.
A quick phone pic for your consideration I will load up more detailed ones soon.
My plan is restore the razors (I am a kind of handyman) and in the meanwhile look for a professional honer in my area (I already start the search and there are some possibilities) .
Please feel free to do comments and suggestions and if it possible where can I find a good "how to" restoration info.
Thanks in advance
Roberto
