Hi all @ SRP

I'm a recent convert to straight razor shaving and have been lurking here for a little while trying to take in as many tips and bits of info as possible.

I'm well used to the feel of being shaved with an open razor ( by a barber ) but it really is a new ball game doing it to myself .. i'm getting there slowly though.

I recently bought a fantastic restored razor from Steve @ Invisible Edge over here in England and l cannot wait to master the art of using such a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

The razor is circa 1880 - 90 and looks as good today as it must have been when first used. The blade is a 5/8 dreadnought point, straight spine with swept edge.
