Newbie reporting as ordered.
Hello everyone! I have been interested in straight razors for a few years now and finally picked up my first razor over the weekend. Mainly because of a thread on here by roguerazor about a shop in Budapest. So thank you! I am originally from Iowa, U.S. but have lived in Tucson, Arizona for 5 years now. Thank you.

Welcome. For some reason I thought you were from Budapest.
What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

Thank you all for the kind words!
Eddy79- the razor is a Zwilling J.A. Henckels. Because of the language barrier and my lack of knowledge in general all I know is it is a 5/8. I believe it's a full hollow ground.eddy79 likes this.
