Hello everyone! Just recently bought my first razor, off ebay, new in the box c. 1901ish. Will post a pic when it arrives. I'm curantly reside in upstate New York, professional chef going on 21 years. First became interested in straight razors years ago and just recently decided to take the leap. Have had to shave with a paring knife in emergancies in the past. It did work ok, but im sure i have a lot to learn from everyone!
