Just taking a moment to say "Hello". Used a straight razor for the first time a couple weeks ago and WOWWWW. I fixed up an old Frederick Reynolds 5/8 with new scales, a good crud removal, some polishing, and a whole lot of sharpening. I'm still working on my stropping skills and learning to use hones. I recently purchased a Wostenholm & Sons 5/8 Celebrated IXL to use. Both are good razors. I'm just sure more razors will find the way to my house. I also use DE razors in my stubble mowing arsenal. Nice to be here at SRP and looking forward to learning more!
