Steve from the United Kingdom

Well, after posting a few snaps in the SOTD thread it's rude not to introduce myself.

I started shaving with straight razors in November. It wasn't particularly planned although a slight interest was there. Jamie (Celticcrusader) posted his King Pelican 32 for sale here in the UK and I was browsing and thought why not? And so it began.

Here we are less than 2 months later and I already appear to have more razors than I really need. My initial thoughts were 7, one for each day obviously. Who was I trying to kid. Current razors from NOS to beaters. All Japanese.

I'm a boar fan and you'll usually see me using Italian software.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hi. Welcome to Straight Razor Place.:chapeau

Nice razor!

Welcome to SRP!
That's a mighty fine collection that you have put together so far.
I guess we don't have to talk about falling down the "rabbit hole."
Enjoy the forum!

Welcome, Steve, and you have a great collection of Japanese razors! :)

Hi and welcome aboard

Welcome, beautiful razor pictured.

Welcome to Straight Razor Place

Welcome to SRP steve.

I see you like Japanese razors, dont forget some nice Sheffields too. While you're at it some American, German, Swedish et al would be nice to have :beer2:

Go to see you. Just ordered my first SR so you're way ahead of me.
Nice collection.

Welcome Steve, superb collection of Japanese razors!

Welcome steve, that's way to many razors for a beginner, I can help you with that ;-)

Welcome to SRP Steve, a lot of great folks and info here
Enjoy and have fun

Hi Steve,

Welcome to the SRP you just so happen to land in the ultimate forum if your interests include straight razors, I can see already you have a fine collection of Japanese steel I'm going to have to keep my eye on you.;)

Hi,Steve,Welcome,,,,,,,,,Enjoy,,,,,,,,,Nice Collection,Must Have A Few Hones,Lets See,Ty

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

A few Sheffield razors will be purchased, but after an initial flurry of purchases I'll be slowing down for a while. I have to indulge my other 'hobby' first which is heavy on the wallet. I'm not far from Sheffield and I'm there quite often, a few of the old razor works are still standing and are listed buildings, Butchers is now converted into residential dwellings, the sheaf works of Greaves is now home to a company in marketing I believe. You can still see the Sheaf Works carved in stone behind the Sheaf Quay sign.

I'm not honing yet Addison, the subject is one of the reasons I ended up here. Jamie has kindly honed for me so far and is doing a few more this month for me. Jamie, I may have a few but yours are in a different league.

Enough rambling from me, here's a few razor pics, we all like razor pics...

Welcome, Steve.
Very nice rotation

Welcome to the forum Steve. A fine collection already. That Pelican 32 is beautiful and since it came from Jamie, I'm sure it had an amazing edge.
