Hi all...

I'm new to the forum, but I guess I can't say I'm new to shaving with a straight razor. Bought my first one at the tender age of 17 ( that was in 1968), so I've been shaving with one for 40 years. I've acquired a lot of them over the years, including my Great Grandfather's Henckel, which still shaves great, by the way.

I'm a full time knifemaker and have just finished making my first straight razor. The jury is out, yet, but I'll keep you posted (if interested) in how it performs. I think a few more trials might be in order before I'm satisfied, or would put one of them in someone else's hands!

I look forward to joining the group and participating any way I can, as well as picking up tips from the other forums!

Thanks for having me.....
