Hi Guys,
It appears that I have a new, and possibly expensive, hobby to explain to family and friends. I've wanted to learn how to have a grandpa shave since having a pro barber perform one on me about 15 years ago but I've spent all of this time buying into the hype of more blades are better (you know where my finger is pointing :D). Having bounced around the internet for a few weeks, I happened upon this site (oh, alright then, a quick 2 minute Google search and then pressed the clicky :) ).
I've managed to get my hands on a couple of antique razors (A Nowills one and a Solingen Raccoon)for a couple of pounds each (about 3 bucks for my American brethren) and promptly got in touch with Glen Mercurio (really cool name by the way:D (and thanks for your patience Glen) to get them refurbed/renovated. Really looking forward to hacking away at my rapidly wrinkling face when I get them back.
Look forward to pestering some of the old and bolds (and the newbies too) for info and help (and probably the directions to the emergency room).
Stay Safe and Stay Happy
Steve
