I recently changed from disposables to double edge razors, and have decided to try straight razors before too long. I found a nice Otto Fromm Eagle at a junk store that I got professionally honed, but the scales broke. The guy told me it would be good enough to try and make sure I liked using a straight before I needed to replace the scales. Next up is a strop and a hone. Then I'll be ready to try it out.

Great site, looking forward to learning more from you all.
