Iowa Newbie
Hello All,
I currently shave with a DE safety razor, but have always been intrigued with the idea of straight razor shaving. On total impulse, I bought this razor off of ebay. It is a Simmons Hardware "Barber's Pet. " Normally I thoroughly research any potential purchases, but not this time. I really hope I did not just flush money on this, but if I did it will be a reminder that lack of sleep and ebay browsing is a bad idea. lol

It's pretty thin but perfectly useable. You will need to get it honed before you likely will have any success shaving with it. There is a wealth of information in the beginner's area that you should peruse.
Where are you located in Iowa? I live in Rochester but still have a house in Iowa City and will need to spend quite a few weekends there this summer. If you are remotely nearby, I can help you with honing or other things you may need help with.

Hi and welcome. Looks usable and the Simmons have a good rep as decent shavers. Get it honed and start shaving. do a bit of reading in the library and you will find most of the info you need to start out. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask.

Can you just use Ed
