Just posted a thread in the razor forum but figured since i am a new user it may be benificial to show my face in here too! my name is joe, i have been wetshaving for years but have only started straight razor shaving for the past ,,, almost a year. in the last year i have come close to mastering the bbs shave we straight razor shavers adore. my first straight was a dovo, 5/8 full hollow which i purchased from srd. About 1 month after i started w/ the dovo i was in an antique shop with my wife when i came accross to unique T. Turton sheffield blade.... This started my research and also infected me with a hard case of rad---- so since that day i have had a thing for sheffield razors, particuarly w&b's, greaves and fenney's. so of course most 150 yo razors do not come shiney as a chrome bumper so i got to work and started restoring.... I figured while im at it what the hay and i started making my own scales and pinning. with out the help of all you guys here on srp i dont think i would have fallen in to this excellent hobby! lemme know if you want some pics of what i got, id be happy to share.
