Hello from Halifax

Hi, I've been lurking this forum for several weeks picking up all sorts of info / tips / etc, I figured it was time for my first post.

I am a recent convert to DE shaving and having read all the great info on straight shaving am considering giving it a try. While on the hunt for some vintage DE's in a local antique shop (RAD set in very quick ... I went from one Merkur HD to 10 DE's in about 3 weeks) I was denied in the DE department but came across the following straight which for some reason I couldn't resist purchasing (I figured for $25 I couldn't go too wrong).

I'm still trying to track down someone local to hone it for me and can't wait to give it a go.

Cheers,

Congratulations on your first post! And congrats on a good snag. I think flopyshoes does honing in Canada.

Beautiful razor! Should turn out to be a great shaver for you, as well.

Hi Rick, Halifax is a great city, been there many times. Most of my family
are from beautiful Cape Breton. Welcome.

Hello from Kansas City!! What a great deal on such a nice razor, I hope to hear from you soon concerning you first shave with that beauty. Please post when you do.

Welcome.

Dr. Chris Moss is in Nova Scotia, I believe. Few can equal his straight razor shaving and honing experience.

He's an SRP member here. If you look up his user name and send him a Private Message I'm sure he'll help you.

Welcome! Let's just see how the battle between Canada and Sweden ends ;p

I do indeed!

Welcome, Rick! Nice to see more Canuks on here (muahahahaha the army grows!)

Canada Sweden is a no brainer: CANADA ALL THE WAY BABY!

Thanks for the welcome and the info. I've been in contact with Dr. Moss who has generously offered to hone my straight. :tu I will be sending it to him early next week.

Floppyshoes - I'm certain I will be in touch in the future as SRAD is seeming to be just as contagious as DE RAD.

Cheers,
