Hi everyone! new menber from the far south, Bariloche in Argentina. I'm kind of new to wet shaving, I must admit. Last week i finally decided to give it a go to straight razors and I bought an old razor+stone set from the local eBay for 20 bucks, probably someone's grandfather set. It was a solingen steel straight razor, with an argentinian maker markings. The stone was all greasy, but after cleaning it I had the pleasant surprise that it was a coticule. I already set the bevel, hone it, strop it (I made a leather strop) and shave my cheeks a couple of times (baby steps). I hope this is only the beginning! I do have a slight *addiction* to buy old things to restore.
Cheers!
