    Default Greetings Gents!

    I've never been one to follow these forums, but I found myself returning here time and time again. It all started a few months back when I came across this beauty in an antique store in upstate New York:

    I was In love, and even if $75 was twice what I wanted to pay, I just couldn't leave without it! I'm a dozen or so razors into my new obsession now, with plans to resurrect a few of them for personal use. I'm a machinist by trade, so reworking blades should be right up my alley! Just wanted to introduce myself as I'm sure I'll be needing guidance in the near future!
    Cheers,

    Hi and welcome. Sounds like RAD has already struck. Check out the workshop for restore info and the Library for all the info to start shaving. Good luck. Ed

    Welcome, as Bombay said, get it honed and give it a go.
