    Default Hello from Europe!

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm from Hungary and I'm interested in straight razors, particularly their history. I'm glad there is a place dedicated to them.

    Welcome.
    Do you have any useable razors? What you posted was nothing special when it was a razor. If your wanting to learn to use a straight we are happy to help you learn. If i was to guess it was a low cost wedge grind razor. At least until it was broken.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    Thanks Gasman,

    I saw that quote at the bottom of your post, "It's just Sharpening, right?" And it made me think about that old razor I found. I just thought that razor is going to need a lot more than just sharpening to put it back into shape! Lol.

    I've always liked feforas, and I wear them. The men had sense (regarding protecting their face from the sun), and a sense of style back then, to wear them. Perhaps straight razors is something similar in that they made sense. I don't use one now, but maybe I will. So, tell me gasman, why do you like using a straight razor? Tell me about its positives, and also any negatives, if there are any.
