Thread: Resources Resources

Howdy, new here like most everyone in this area. Been interested in learning how to use a a cut throat for quite a while, but never knew where to begin. Fortuitously, I found a family heirloom razor and am wondering if anybody has any experience with the vintage. It come from the Dixie Manufacturing Co., Union City-Ga. Blue Steel Dixie Razors.

I fully recognize that it needs to be cleaned up and honed by an experienced hand. I have a recommendation to visit a guy in Orange County, CA at South Coast Plaza to work on it; but I am open to suggestions from anyone.

If any of you know anything about the razor or the company, I'd love to know more about its heritage and whether I should consider shaving with it.

Also, if anyone knows any resources in Southern California that teach how to shave with a straight edge, I'd love to know. Online tutorials and DVD's are one thing, but speaking with someone with experience is entirely different.

Thank you!

I'm in Riverside CA.

PM me and I can give you my contact information.
