Thread: My first buy

I have an Engels exactly like that one. It's one of my best shavers.

search badger hair knots... i figure just dig out the old one and glue another in with marine glue. they have'm on ebay and you can googl it. that is a nice razor and setup...

Thanks Mike that's great to hear------ I can't wait to get it and go for a test drive:-)

I bet Gorilla glue would work well also

The razor is top notch. A well respected name here on SRP.
The soap has to go, get some better stuff. Your face will say thank you.
Ya, be sure to get a strop and a better brush.

You did good,

FWE is right up there with Dubl Duck IMHO. The one you picked up looks very nice and will undoubtedly make a great shaver.

Thanks Randy I'll do just that.

That's great to know. I had no idea it was right up there with Double Duck in quality. The fellow who sells them test them as I mentioned before then strops them one last time before shipping so it should be good to go when I get it.

No, it will not be good to go. You must strop for 30-50 roundtrip laps on a plain leather hanging strop just before each shave. It makes an enormous difference. I am not joking about this. Hopefully, others will chime in on this point.
