Thread: New user saying hi.

I've made this suggestion several times in the past and here I go again.

Put your grandfather's razor away. Don't shave with it and definitely don't try to restore it. If you do some reading in this forum, you will find many horror stories of beginners trashing their first razors. Even light sanding done wrong can easily break a blade. Because your razor has sentimental value, it's not the one you want to learn with, since learning often involves mistakes.
