Hi All,
Im Sergey. And new to the world of SR shaving..
Ordered my first straight razor ( C'MON Cadillac) from

Hello Sergey Looks like you might have a good razor. Send it to one of our "Honemeisters" to get the best sharp edge, and learn to strop.
Hi, it will be good razor after honing! I see that you have Slavic name, if you want I can recommend you very good honing-master in Ukraine or Russia, in case if you live somewhere near, than you will able to save on shipping cost (PM me)!
Have a great start!
Andrey!
Btw I'm also prefer to stay away from that shop, and I hope you haven't buy strop from them. But off course it's just my IMHO
HI ,
I am in New York now :) ... via Ukraine ...
Thanks for the advice.
I am sensing from the replies that I didn't make a very good choice with this razor ...
I also got Dovo Russian Type XL Cowhide Hanging Razor Strop for $70 .
I might be getting "collecting" bug ... :)
Last night I purchased Dove Bismark 7/8 ( White Bone for under $200) and Wacker "Antik" ( $329)...
Just couldn't help myself :)
Welcome to the wonderful world of straight shaving. Take it slow and enjoy the journey. Good luck!
Wow, quick start. Dovo make good strops and razors you can't miss with them! Now you have really great razors, but still if they sells them just with factory edge, you need to hone them before use.
good point ... ANyone from NY area? Can someone recommend a good places to sharpen a razor in NY?
Andrey ... Is there a big SR following in Ukraine ? Just curious ...
well i'm not sure about that razor... the brand is an old one and the vintage c-mons were wonderful, i have not heard or seen a review on the new ones... and yes it seems like you have the RAD going well.
the guys form nothern nj & nyc are trying to get a meet up going on here is the link: http://straightrazorpalace.com/get-t...nj-area-2.html
We have small Russian speaking community on Britva.ru where post USSR country's razor users gathering. I think there is hundred or 2 of active users in our country's. Its difficult to say because many of straight users not active on the forum and I don't know if they still use straights or have abandoned this hobby.*
In Ukraine personally I know maybe 10 straight users from different city's
Thanks for the info SYSLIGHT ... greatly appreciated !
btw ... in case someone else from NYC needs it :
The New York Shaving Company
Att: Sharpening Service
202B Elizabeth Street

RAD ?! LOL .... I'll try to take it easy ...
Sergey, I spoke from ignorance about the B&B razor you first purchased.
