hi everyone, my name is josh. i have just recently wandered into the relm of straight razoring and i stumbled into this site.
i found a Geneva Cutlery Co. razor at a barber shop in town. its very clean, no blemishes or knicks, and from what i understand, fairly old. my question is, how old? i did a vague search of geneva co. but couldn't find much. i did find a person that had an identical razor, the only difference was the number. there is a little pyramid on the blade with a number in it, mine (23), his (9), what does this mean?
i am interested in using it and learning how to not cut myself...i was wondering aswell about a strop. is there any decent ones produced anymore?
any suggestions would help.
thanks
josh
