    Default Hi! I like Japanese edged tools and blacksmithing

    Hi,

    I like using Japanese edged tools and the manufacturing process (blacksmithing, sharpening, design), so naturally, I thought to check out razors as well, in addition to kitchen knives, outdoor tools, scissors and woodworking tools. I don't use some of them now, though. . . not enough at least.

    Thanks!

    Welcome refcast. Glad to have you with us and I hope you find a home here. I'm still not quite clear on a couple of things. I know you said you're interested in edged tools, in particular Japanese edged tools and blacksmithing. I also get that you have checked out razors but do you shave with a straight razor? Double edge (DE)? Single edge (SE)?
    I don't mean this to be the Spanish Inquisition. Just trying to get a clearer picture. If you do wet shave with one of the above we'd love to see pictures of your gear. We love pictures here.
    Again welcome and let us know how we can help. Enjoy your time here. Lots of good folks around.
