ok ...first post here .....I got a shaving brush/bowl kit from mom, and I got a vintage razor from grandpa,,,still has the box for it ...the box says Zaliel Cutlery works solingen Germany on the lid it says Zaliel Jassiano.

the blade is wicked sharp! it has a dark wood handle, very thin wood

so thats the blade....now the real problem!

I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO WITH IT!!!

never shaved with a str8 before.. been to a barber ( before they were no longer allowed to do it) best shave of my life!

want to learn ...no clue where to start
thanks for the help in advance
