Well when my wifes step-grandfather who was a 83 year old Barber passed I obtained several barber hones, barbering text book the 3 razors a Peter.J.Micheals strop a Henckels 451 Friodur,Antalope 94 and a Spanish Point Boker all of he still used. Being a Taxidermist I have a passion for extreamly sharp objects anyway and was intersted.

So I had been using wore out mach 3 blades and got rather flusterd when my wife stole my last new one. So I figured what the hell and the Friodur felt sharp....I did not strop and used way to much angle but it worked and I didnt cut myself. I then found this site and never looked back! I only wish I had been into straight shaving sooner I would have loved to have talked with him about it.

Now my wife dont use my razor anymore.....yet!
