Thanked: 0New member - haven't yet shaved with a straight
Hi everyone. New member here. Just got into wet shaving with a DE about a month ago, and am deciding whether to take the plunge into straight razors now. I was at an antique store last week and saw two I believed to be good deals, so I figured what the heck. Bought two of them.
Would love to know anything anyone can tell me about them. I already understand a little bit about the merits of blades from Solingen, but would love help in identifying either of these further, and would gladly accept advice about having them restored to shave-ready condition (if possible and practical) and about the models shown -- specifics, history, age, model info, etc.
So without further ado, here are my two first straight razor acquisitions.
1. Friedr. Baumann & Sohne Comfort
2. Wellington
Thanks in advance for any insight, advice, etc.!
I paid $34 for the pair, BTW.
