Hello All,
I joined this site after buying a razor on impulse and then realizing I knew absolutely nothing about them?

Anyway since joining and looking around I have discovered that what I know about straights and shaving with them can be summed up in about 1 sentence, whereas what I don't know would fill an arena............

So, If anyone here could kindly advise me upon the razor I bought, I'd really appreciate it.

It's deffo not shave ready (from what I've read here and trying to cut the hair on my arm).

the razor is;
6.5 inches long
3/4 wide
blade (cutting edge) 3.5 inches long.

writing on face of blade;
I Cut My Way
William Rodgers
Sheffield England
Express

Back of blade;
made and ground in Sheffield England.

Hard black plastic Scales.

From the pictures in this post, I'd say it is probably the same razor as this one but any info would be appreciated.
