Gentlemen, it is a pleasure to meet you all. Been reading a few posts on the forum and gathering information. I've been a long time user of shaving soap and a brush but never seriously gave it a thought to use a straight razor until a month or so ago while visiting my parents. Upon the wall next to their fireplace my Mother has hanging my Papa's two straight razors along with the strop he used for many many years. He passed away in '77. Mom wanted to give me them but I coiuldn't bare to take them off the wall. It's a nice looking display ya know.

Anyway, looks like a nice website, there's a good smart crowd here and a nice happy bunch at that.

Glad to be a part of it.
