Thread: I'm So Proud!

Well gents, I have here three straight razors--I HOPE the last three I will be buying for some time. At least until I learn to hone them properly myself.

First is a Vintage Kropp 5/8 Hollow Ground--good Sheffield Steel, that, I got it shave-ready off a member of B&B. It needs rescaling eventually, but it seems like a good blade.

Then, the white scaled Double Arrow. $13.50 shipped to Japan, not bad at all--and it is close to shave ready, I think. It feels "sticky" on the TPT and TNT, but what do I know...it did shave my arm hairs ok, though it failed the HHT. It is definitely more shave ready than my 3rd razor, the Tosuke up there.

The shop was requested to hone it, and they said they would, but it's not near shave ready. Oh well. It'll be my pet project...

Anyway, here's my Steel Triad!
