Thread: Straight Razor VIRGIN!

Hey All,
Just wanted to introduce myself and say what an AWESOME ally this website is for us ROOKIES. I knew nothing a few weeks ago and after doing some research and reading the great forums have just bought MY FIRST STRAIGHT!

I chose an old, but barely used Torrey 6/8 for my first razor. Also have a strop, badger brush, and all the other necessities on the way.

Again, can't say enough about the great info this website has to offer and will definitely pass it along to my buds. Also, anyone know a good place in Cbus, Ohio that sells Straight Razors and Accessories?

Looking forward to my first REAL shave,
Dustin G.

There ya go for Ohio


And is yer new razor "Shave Ready"??? In other words did you buy it from a Staright Razor person???


Ok three things WELCOME to SRP !!!!!

Good luck on the new endeavor six gun; sounds like a great idea! My new Torrey is supposedly "shave-ready" but from reading the forums one man's "shave-ready" razor is another man's "butter knife".

I did not buy it from SRP but did do my research and if anything may have to send it to get professionally honed. Don't wanna take the chance of dulling the blade with my lack of skills.

I have been on the lookout for a local shop around Columbus that would do the honing instead of sending my blade away to get sharpened. Prob gonna need some practice stropping as well..........

Welcome VIRGIN have fun

Columbus Barber & Beauty Wholesale Supply, LTD This store has a few items in there barber section.

Thanks, I will have to check that place out. After buying my first razor I found it wasn't "truly shave ready". Sent my razor to Lynn and the boys at Straight Razor Designs to put an edge on er' that will hopefully split a hair on a frog's ass. Until then......stay thirsty my friends!
