Since a really young fella, I have always been intrigued by blades of all types. I consider myself an avid heirloom quality knife collector (Case, Canal Street Cutlery, etc..) and have always wanted to collect new and antique razors. After finding this sight, and seeing what shaving like my great grandfather would be like, I am hooked! All of the info on the site is really useful, but I feel lost after all I have read. I am hoping that one of the older or experienced gentlemen would sort of "take me under their wing" since my GGF has passed and isn't here to teach me himself, and possibly layout a list of things I will need to get started in this, what I consider, "lost art". I appreciate high quality instruments, and would like to jump right in and purchase a good setup for all of my shaving needs (i.e. Strop, hones, Razors, soap/cream, brushes, after shave, DVD, etc...). If anyone is willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
