Greetings from a Venezuelan wannabe
Hello Ladys & Gents
A word of warning since I am not a natural English spoken person but I will try to make my self clear in the name of the Straight Razor Passion.
Born and living in Caracas Venezuela interested in more things that the ones I can really handle but still in the pursuit of information about stuff I like.
I was looking for a good opportunity to begin the straight razors activity in the proper way since I have had a fake blade for some time now (the kind that you put a half safe blade in it) but today I set a meeting with a guy who is selling an used Rudolf Schmidt Bambola not sure about the model since the guy did not bring it with him but for the pics I saw could be a 777, 192 deluxe due to the fact that there is three pivot points and the symbol in the scales correspond to the type in the models listed above it could be even a 205 but I can not see any itching in the face of the blade, as you can assume I was very disappointed when I found he did not have the razor but we had a good chat and he promise to bring them by the end of the week so I could see it he even told me he still has two different razors to sell so I can choose from.
What he brought with him was an old mild beaten J.A.Henckels adjustable strop he told me about so at the end I came home with a not empty hands and a promise of not one but two razors to begin my journey.
So that is all folks I guess I just bored you enough with my tale and to reward your patience I left you a some crapy cel pics of the strop before and after some TLC and the prospect razor.
Please give me some comments about what to look for when I finally have the razors at hands and what do you think o the strop.
Thanks in advance and have a nice evening.
