First post, impulse buy C.J. Johnson "Our Best"
Hello folks, First post here.
So, I made an impulse buy today. Picked up a "C.A. Johnson" razor and Illinois razor strop # 835 for $35 today. I don't know anything about straight razors, so this is foreign territory to me. Did I win or lose on this?
The blade has got some pitting; scales are in decent shape with minor nicks and cracking, but still whole. The blade is NOT sharp, needs a hone to be shave ready, if it'll ever be able to again. The tang is stamped with "C.J. Johnson Inc. New Haven, Conn. M.I. Germany" on one side and "Our Best" on the other side.

Anyone care to chime in on this? I'm currently using a Gold Dollar Straight, that gets me buy very well. I got this deal because I lost my strop in a move. Thanks!
