hello from MO
Hi I am new to straight shaving and I'm hooked. Bought a few different styled vintage straights to see what blade style and grind work for me best. have them being made shave ready now. Will post pics of my small collection soon as they're back to me!
Currently using dovo replaceable style and just purchased another old unmarked straight that I have no clue about. Poor shave edge so I'm sending it to my barber to be made use able again. I'll post a pic to see if you guys know anything about it...Leatherstockiings likes this.

Welcome to the forum!! Glad you signed on. As you can tell there are lots of great members to help, and lots of great info stored here. Don't overlook the search box at the top right of the page.......a really quick path to quick answers. If you can't find it or just need help, ask away.
Here's an excellent video that should really help with that first straight shave, and judging that first razor's edge.
Enjoy the forum!!!
Best Regards,
Howard
