Hello, John Peter, and welcome to Straight Razor Place. Yes, reading your straight razor shaving in the early days would be a treat. I look forward to it.

Welcome back to an older but better way of shaving. If your father is still with us I'm sure he's be proud, and if by chance he's somewhere else I'm sure that he's still proud.
By chance are you still using the razor your father gave you? If so any chance of pictures? You'll find us a thirsty bunch when it come to viewing what we consider Eye Candy.
Again, welcome!Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.

Thank you guy's for making me feel quite at home here already.
Als for the razor my dad gave me, it is a Nirosta #600. A pre-WW2 German razor from the early 1930's. One of the scales is broken, unfortunately, but I am negociating with a chap in the UK who apparently has scales similar to the broken one, indiginous to the Era.
I want to restore the razor to it's former state, if only for sentimental reasons. Photo's of the current as well as the restored state will be posted in due time, as will the story attached to it.
