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!
