Thread: Any South Africa Gents out there???? Might need your help

for the SA folk

Hi Gerhard, Nice razors! Some more info? Where are they from, what are they etc?

BTW, Riaanrab and myself have already had 2 honing sessions, and had a shave session on Sunday, its very interesting to see what others are doing and I think we learned a bit from each other! For me I learned a thing or two about the different products, creams soaps etc, and how to make a good lather, also he showed me how the DE razor works, never seen one before. Thanks Riaan.

Nice razors Gerhard, making us jealous here, what type of razors are those????

No problem Duncan, had a very nice time on Sunday, will get together again.

My first restoration!

Before:


After:


I made the scales myself with basic tools, and made the pins, collars and washers out of brass rod, the wedge is a piece of brass from an old window slide-lock thingy.

After honing, its a great shaver too!

Duncan, great job. Love the scales.

Are you fellow South Africans still around?
