Hello everyone. I just signed up today, and have a few questions about this new way of shaving.
I purchased my first straight razor a few days ago at an antique shop. I think it's a Crown & Sword Solingen 1720. It has a black plastic handle and came in a really old box. The price was originally $20, but I talked the owner down to $10.
To me, the blade looks perfectly intact, but seems dull. I contacted two barbers, and a hardware store in my hometown and none of the three are willing to sharpen it. Where can I take it to get it sharpened so that I can actually use it? Also, is this a decent razor? Thanks!
