Hello everyone. I am new here, but not to straight razors. I have been using them for many years, and made more than one. Thought the place looked interesting and civilized, after reading over Mike Blue's shoulder last weekend. :)

Welcome to this forum Bigear. I believe you will enjoy your time here especially if you have any perfectionist tendencies. I certainly appreciate all forms of smithery, especially the simple tools needed for everyday life! I look forward to the stories you may share.
Are you still shaving with your own razor?
The Knipper is roaming through here from time to time. It's good to see you here as well, my friend.
Welcome!!
I know the folks here more than welcome the opportunity to meet you, share what they have learned and learn from you.
Thanks,
Lynn
Welcome to SRP,
Well done Mike :)
Thanks for the welcome guys !
I must confess that use almost entirely antique razors to shave with. I have never kept one of my own make, always having traded them for filthy lucre or other trade goods. :w
I always test drive them though, then re-finish them and send them to the customer. It has been a few years since I made one, but I am feeling the bug again. Spending a few days with Mike and Mick Maxen last week has renewed my interest in several things. All good.
I am not real talkative most of the time, so don't mind me sitting in the back, ok ? :)
welcome to the club!!!
Oh, very nice, I better take a look at the rust bucket, I'll make you an offer you can't refuse :roflmao:roflmao:roflmaoQuote:

And most certainly read, post, whatever - we don't care much, as Lynn says 'have fun'.
Greetings & Welcome.
Laconic participation is ok... But so are lots of pics :D
