I should have also mentioned that originally I'm from Poland and I remember reading somewhere that there were polish made straights that were popular at one point. If you guys can some some light on that it would be great. I think it would be awesome to start my adventure into straights with one that was made in the same country I was.

Wapenica razor are from Poland. At one point they were quite plentiful but these days they are a little harder to come by but by no means rare.

The Polish razors are referred to as Wapi's.. There is one member here who has a bunch of them, never used.

Heres a link to the "Advanced Search" function on the forum. At the topish right of the page you'll see the Google custom search box. I don't ever use it. Just under it is the "Advanced Search" function. This link...... Advanced Search - Straight Razor Place Forum Using "keywords" I entered Polish, Poland and it produced 16 pages of posts. I didnt look through them, but you might give it a shot and find some more info on Polish razors.

Welcome to the forum!! Hope you find it beneficial, and, fun!!

Regards,

Howard

might be worth putting a "wanted" add in the classifieds. Make sure you buy one from a member capable of making it truly shave ready, or buy one with the knowledge you will have to put in a bit more cash to send it to a honemeister.
