Hey Sharpies!!!
Hello! I just signed up to access member only resources. I started shaving with SR's over 10 years ago and soon began collecting them. I have about 200 and once organized my then collection in an online publication "Clarence Razor" at https://flybare.wordpress.com There, I made my best attempts to evaluate the items under Stewart & Ritchie guidelines. I used to think that I was alone, being the only man I know who shaved that way, let alone collected used un-shaveable blades!!
Now retired I want to sharpen my knowledge and improve my lot, so it's nice to find a place with such company and experience. My parallel is that while most everyone has fished, few can properly fish for trout, and fewer yet tie their own flies. I love the art and history that such humble and fragile tools represent. Hope to have some productive banter here!!!

Welcome Flybare. Nice to have a seasoned shaver join the group. I'm sure that we will learn form you as much as you hope to learn from us. There are a number of history buffs active and willing to answer questions, expand on limited knowledge, exchange knowledge and encourage deeper knowing of the field.
We also look forward to your contributions in the practical area of straight razor shaving. Our truly new to the field members are like sponges and we gladly enjoy saturating that sponge with tried and tested knowledge."The sharpening stones from time to time provide officers with gasoline."

Welcome! I hope you find this site as helpful, friendly, and informative as I have. It truly is a remarkable place, both on the internet and in the real world. Happy shaving!
