Thread: New member from Minnesota, USA

Good evening. I purchased my first antique razor. I hope to learn about it's history, how to restore it (without damaging value) and how to use it in my 18th Century living history hobby.

Thank you!

Welcome. Look around. Make sure to read up on the beginners' section on just about any topic you could want to know about. The "what are you working on," thread in the workshop is chock full of information on restoration and repair. There is also a lot of info in the shave library and in the helpful links section top left on the home page. If you still need help there are plenty of friendly folks here to guide you. There is a lot to straight shaving and it's easy to get overwhelmed but just take your time and enjoy.

Oh yeah, post some pics of your new purchase. We love pictures here.
