Dear members,
I've been lurking around these past weeks, after receiving 2 straight razors from my mother, previously owned by my grand-parents.
One is a Bethlehem (Solingen), the other is a Hamilton - Canada, circa 1930 - 1940.
I've always been curious to try the straight, so this was my cue.
I found a local knife shop that could hone straights, so paid them a visit.
They put an edge back on the Hamilton, but the Bethlehem kept chipping because of rust issues.
I've been experimenting with the Hamilton and enjoy the shave, although it doesn't keep it's edge that great.
So I've decided to invest in a new razor soon.
Thanks for the wealth of information found here!
Merci!
