    Default Hi from England.

    Hi to you all.

    Well i'm very new to all this. I've been shaving with a DE for about a month now and getting on fine, lots of trial and error with blades and learning the correct technique. As new as i still am though i've not been getting as close a shave as i'd like and have decidid to dive in to straight shaving.

    I recently found a small cache of straights in a local antiques place and picked the best one i could from my limited knowledge, a fair condition puma 95 that i am going to restore and hopefully have honed by niel miller to use as my first straight. however i have had a slight setback in that i just broke the back scale clean in 2 trying to unpin it, whilst all the time telling myself to not be as heavy handed with it as i usually am with things! Sooooo im on the search for a nice plain black scale for it to replace the damaged one if anyone knows of any or has lying around.

    Thanks,

    Lee.

    Welcome to the forum Lee. You've come to the right place for help and advice. I would suggest you talk to the blokes in 'The Workshop' about spares and how to's. They're all a little crazy in there (we think it's the glue), but they're quite harmless .

    Hi and welcome. +1 on micks advice. Or try ebay as there's always razors with dead blades and good handles. Nice razor pickup too. The pumas are nice
