Another newbie introducing
Gentlemen,
Here is another newbie to SRP from the island of Hirvensalo, near Turku, SW Finland (a place you propably have never heard of).
Been a 'beard plane' (or DE as you say) user for ages, but got my late grandfathers razors (Heartring and Hellberg) for about 2 years ago. At first i only cleaned them, and few months later decided to sharpen and try them. Of course it didn't go this easy at first, but time is learning and today i shave with them every now and then (with no wounds anymore).
This far i thought there are not many straight shavers in the world, but found out to be wrong again when i found this website. It has been most informative as well as interesting to read the topic about the razors and specially restoring them. I've restored several traditional hand tools (chisels, planes etc) to get them back to work again, and now it seems that i have to start watching for eBay to get some razor project there.
Lastly, sorry for my poor school-English.
