I just found this forum today, been thinking about trying shaving with a straight razor for a long time. Of course it looks like it isn't cheap, and since i have expensive taste anyways it seems the new razors I like are the more expensive ones.

I have one though that was my great grandfather's that I am wondering if is worth sending off to somebody to have brought back into shape. ONt he blade it says "extra hollow ground (after the "u" it's unreadable) fully warranted" on the tang it says "Harris Goar mfg. co." then under that somewhere in whatever state is abreviated MO.

handle looks to be plastic with a flower and a lady on it. Here is a pic

what do you think? something to start with?
