Thread: Hello, All

I'm from just outside Philadelphia, new to straight razors. If fact I still have not used one yet. I found a cool old H.Boker tree brand razor, while going through some old family stuff. Did some research and found out is about a 1925-1935, then ended up finding this place. And it seem to be a wealth of information. So here I am.

Really looking forward to learning to enjoy shaving. Up until now it's just been something that I've had to do and just a chore. Since finding the straight razor and read some stuff, I went out and tried some of the different and wonderful shaving creams and realized that I have been missing out, and that theirs a lot of enjoyment that can be had with this thing, I have to do either way.

So glad to be here.

P.S. - As I stated above I have found a razor, but don't know a whole bunch about it. I came here to t learn how to use it, but first off I need to find a place to have it restored a bit and honed. Any references?

Hi and welcome. Check out the library for all the basics info. The razor database or razor thread might yield some info on the razor. Member services in the classifieds is where to find someone to look at the razor for you.

G'Day and welcome

Hello and welcome to SRP. The library is an excellent source for learning also, there are Honemiester's and restoration expert's here that can help you get your razor ready. I have 2 Boker's and they are both excellent razors. Take your time learn much and enjoy.

Thanks guys
