So far I've converted 1 of my friends to shaving with a straight. I had to restore a Genco EasyAces for him, and then i made a 2x24" latigo strop and using his grandfathers old shaving mug made the conversion in febrauary. Now we just need to find him a better brush and some really good soap and he'll be lovin it im sure. Got a few razors im restoring now as gifts for the hopes of getting a few more people into it.
