Thread: Help required with lecture on straight razors!

I really can't improve on what's been said (although I agree with almost all of it), but I would like to add one thing that I enjoy getting out of straight razor shaving (and honing). The tactile feedback, the melding of the shaver with his tool, is a refreshing way to tune the senses. I also like the fact that as my honing gets better I can apply the understanding of sharpness, metallurgy, and general metal care to other tools (chisels, knives).

Ah, glad I stumbled on this one.

Well i may write more later, but off the top of my head i think it's the challenge of doing something in a different way with presumably much better results.

you can use any of my photos, email me for the originals if you need them
