I've got a few years on me. used a straight back in the 60s and some in the 70s. quite for a long time. got back in it about 2 months a go. I remember some of the older brands and in the last 2 months have collected a few. found this site about a month or 6 weeks ago and have enjoy it a lot. I also enjoy reading what every one has to say. I think I'll let this razor go and I appreciate the info. I've also enjoyed watching the videos that are on U-tube about straights. some times the older ways are not only the best but more interesting and a lot more fun
