Hi everyone, I was surprised to see a straight razor shaving place like this one a few weeks back, so here goes with my "first contact" with fellow straight bladers. Been shaving with straights for over 5 years straight now, don't use anything else. My weapons arsenal- 3X 1920s Merkur straights-4/8, 5/8, and a wee mustacher, 2x excellent Thiers Issard -1937 Special, and Petit Francais, 1 dovo bone, 1 meatchopper Wade anb Butch, 1 excellent (and dangerous) Robeson SureEdge hammer marked. Severely lacking in the brush dept. been using 1 Kingston for 8 years, 1 excellent Caswell 4 years, in the market for an upgrade there.

I make knives as a hobby, most fellow knife collectors think I'm out of my mind with the cut throat shaving, so I hope signing on here will find me good company! (grin)

Best,

thewap aka Marc
