Hey everyone,

I've been wet shaving with a safety razor for some time, but am still a straight virgin ... (ha?) .... I've recently inherited two straight razors from my late grandfather, who inherited them from his father. As a knife-making veteran, I've always been intrigued by straight razors but have had minimal success making them. I figure this is a great time and opportunity to learn razor restoration, technique, and eventually, crafting.

In addition I'm a cigar and bourbon aficionado, and enjoy archery, shooting, and martial arts in the little spare time I have between work and graduate school.
