New to the forum, old hand to the fine art of shaving and I love to put vintage stuff back into service. Usually great steel they used way back when. I'm from North Carolina in the Charlotte area. I'm not usually one to comment a lot, but I do read quite a bit. Anything else just ask.
Welcome to the forum, Bryan! There's always room for another "old hand" to provide some good perspective, especially for those new to the fine sport of wet shaving.
Cheers! :beer2:
Welcome aboard, Bryan. You should fit right in , at the workshop thread. Lots of stuff being restored there.
Thanks for the warm welcome. It's funny. I got into this stuff because my wife hates when I grow a beard. I figured that if I was going to go baby faced, there was no way I'd do it with some multi blade, poor excuse for a paint scraper. I started with an old Gilette fatboy that I still have and use once in a while, but always knew I'd get into straight razors eventually. I've had many over the 10 years or so I've been tinkering, but my daily driver is an old Wosty from 1881 that my great grandfather bought new. He used it till he died and my grandfather did too. That old quarter hollow was honed almost to a wedge by then, so I reground it, put the hollow back into it and squared the toe. Been tinkering with them ever since.
Cool! I started to save money!
HA, HA. Hahaha. Hahahahahahaha!
Dunno how many times I've heard that one lol. I always tell everyone that if you wanna save money, grow a beard and leave it tangled. A good shave or a well manicured beard isn't a poor man's game. Not if you're planning to do it right.
I saved money once...I think. Welcome, I do a lot of reading here too. You won't find a more knowledgeable group of people on this sport anywhere. You're in good hands.
Hahaha I did too. I switched to geico. Oh you meant shaving? Yea I've never found that 3 horned unicorn. Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the forum, Bryan!
I must feel awesome to not only have your great grandfather's razor but actually use it and keep it in service! This is so much more than just shaving :)
Welcome Byran. Be sure to post up some of your work along the way it the workshop thread. Its one of our longest thread and we have a great bunch of guys that love to restore. Myself encluded. We love to see pics and its great to have another restorer 8n the group. We can help with finding materials if your looking for something.
Enjoy the forum. A bunch of good folks here so just jump in. You will find yourself posting more and more.
Thank you. I figured if between the two men, they'd put over 100 years of use on it, then it would be wrong not to continue the tradition
