Thread: I went from 1 to 6

A visited my Grandma today. She said that "I have some things for you." it turned out to be my Grandfathers straight razors and strop. The strop is a RealEdge 156A.

I now have 5 straights that have personal history. My grandma said that she remembers Grandpa shaving with the bone handled Robert Klaas round edge. I looked at the edge, it has one small nick in it. There is a 3 pin Boker that has been cut off to about 2.5" ( I can only guess that the tip was damaged and removed.) There is also a 3 pin "Old Dutch" P. A. Phillips square point (this one is in the best shape). The other two look to have handmade black wooden scales (very crude, but servicable) One is an Imperial and the other is a "Thistle Cut Co.".

Now it looks like it is time to get both Bill's restoration CD and Lynn's shaving / honing CD. I'd really like to hone out the nick in the bone handled round point.

Just thought I'd share. I'm pretty excited about this.
