When I first got into fountain pens, I would buy a couple of lots of pens. Would always find half or better were good to great writers.

Did the same thing for my first batch of straight razors. Figured the worst that I could do would be get some fodder for learning to hone the beasts.

I am a long-time DE shave-guy..Merkur adjustable with various blades...Feather, Derby, some Indian, Russian, Pakistani, etc. Normal shave is with then against the grain.

Right now...what info should I post about the razors I have to find out which ones are clunkers and which ones are going to be okay for actual shaving...

Bill...a not so babe in shave land...
