New to SRP
Looks like I will be making the leap to straight razor shaving! I've been DE shaving for a while now so I've got most of the gear such as creams and soaps and brushes (I'm waiting for a new scuttle to be delivered from Georgetown pottery).
I went out and purchased 4 straights from my local antique mall. I've sent out pm's and emails to some of the honemeisters and I anxiously await their replies regarding restoration and honing.
Of the four razors three are easily identifiable an one is not.
I paid $6.00 for the Boker, $6.00 for the Joseph Elliot, $60.00 (OMG did I really spend that much!
) on the Genco and about $18.00 on the unknown model - it has purdy "pearl" scales.

Welcome to SRP! Here you will find all the support and advice you could ask for. One day there may even be a Hints and Tips for Dealing with RAD section to the forum, frequented by the wives and families of those afflicted.

That Boker is in great shape, probably the best I have ever seen. Wow!!! That was only $6? What a steal.
