Hello Lyn n guys,
I have watched your clips etc on youtube today for hours, then hunted out the 2 old Straight Razors i have stashed away, one bleck & 1 white handled from a company called C.J. Chrise Johnson & Co on both Sheffield ENGLAND. I don't have a clue on age. my aim in a moment is to climb up in the attic and locate my Grandfathers Straight which was passed on to my father then me.
All very daunting on what blade to buy,strop etc. so i will see what condition these 3 are in and take it from there
i still have to buy the creams brush etc so i will read and read on here til i am happy.

many thanks for reading.
take care,
Brian
