Hello,

I have been shaving with a straight razor for about two months now and loving it. My right hand technique is not bad the left well.... still working on it. Thus I have a smooth left side and a slightly cut and rough right side, guess I am a work in progress. Besides the joy of the ritual shave I have found the idea of finding old razors and restoring them to be very intriguing. I have found a couple of nice razors recently which I have sent to Classic Edge to be sharpened but I am hoping I will soon be able to restore these myself. I looked through the restoration section on this site but as with most things those that can do it make it look easy. I have tried to hone one of my razors on a quick sharp honing stone but had no success I am hoping I can make this work at some point. I am glad SRP is here providing a place where those of us who have seen the light in the old ways can share ideas and information making the world a better place to shave in.

Cheers
