Welcome to srp Givvingett!
If not for the internet I wouldnt have shaved with a straight.. never saw one being used in real life or saw one in the shops... I'm not a collector of anything but I love to use them, hone them and bring them back to life.

Thank you Maarten
You're right,..where would we be without this internet tool? In my experience, there's nothing like putting together a group of sharp and interested guys and bouncing ideas, sharing knowledge, there's just no substitute. As far as learning to shave,...well when I was about 16 my technique came straight from the old movies I had watched and then later from an old barber that lived around the corner. That old gent took the time to explain a couple things, particularly about care and storage. I'm sure that old fella must have thought I was nuts back then, but his genorosity hasn't been forgotten by me. That barber is gone for over 20 years now, (May you RIP John) but I still remember him fondly,.......now his $2.50 haircut, that's another story,....I wore a hat for 2 weeks, til' it grew out. Thanks for your interest Maarten.
My best,
Peter
