Thanked: 0Sayin' hi, have a question!
Hello, SRP community. I'm Eric and I wanted to introduce myself. I've very recently been fascinated with straight razor technique and tradition, ever since while traveling received one from a very talented Russian barber in Brooklyn. It was the best shave I've had in my life. What a confidence booster, as well!
A dear friend of mine gave me a razor which I found in your database. I hope the code pastes correctly:
Fields Data Manufacturer Wostenholm, George & Son Region Sheffield, England Date Unspecified Size 6/8 Point Square Shoulder 1 stabilizer Jimps None Scales Unknown Steel Carbon
I'm both curious and fascinated. I was trying to figure out what the handle was made out of and approximately when it was manufactured. If any of the community members know, I'd greatly appreciate the help.
My plan was to send it off to a professional to get it cleaned, honed and shave ready, so I can start with a properly set up blade, before I begin to learn the actual shaving technique. I'll continue to read the forums so I can learn.
Just wanted to say hi, folks. Take care!
I took a few photos which can be viewed here:
