    Default May I introduce myself.

    Good evening members of straightrazorplace my name Is Mike Dufresne and I live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I worked most of my life for the federal Government of Canada in the field of correctional services and retired in 2010. I am a amateur antique collector and I buy and collect almost anything that interests me that I believe to be antique and appears to be in very good to excellent condition. Earlier this evening I loaded a vintage " Schulze Weyer Razor " asking for help dating this and I have received some valued advice regarding the date plus cleaning and caring for this lovely old piece. This is a nice informative site and I will try and add photos of old razors of interest as I find them. Thank you to everyone that has posted all the information I have been reading. It has been very helpful and has really sparked my interest in straight razor collecting. I may be hooked??? Best regards. Mike Dufresne.

    Welcome to SRP!!!

    We love pictures, they also help in the dating of the razor.
    The best place to look for the information on cleaning/restoring is THE WORKSHOP. Ask questions, we're here to help!

    Enjoy and have fun!!!

    Dieseld. I think I loaded the photos to the wrong part of the site. As I learn how the site operates I'll get it done right. I tried to add photos to my introduction but I was afraid I would mess up so I stopped. This is a great site and I thank you for the welcome. Mike D.

    Hello Mike and welcome to SRP.
    Hopefully you take the nescesary steps to learn this lost art.
    It truly will be worth your time and effort.
    Enjoy your time here on the forum and have fun.
