Thread: Hello all, I look forward to learning lots here...

Hi there, my name is Chris Partida. I live in Whittier, CA - a good little town with lots of history.

I have always been intrigued with straight razors, and also safety razors as my grandpa would use them daily. Unfortunately, when he passed, they were all divided up and I was too young to get to keep any of them.

Now, I am nearing 28 years old and want to start my own collection worth passing down to those that admire them, just like I did as a child.

Currently, my collection is just two straight razors - the first was a foolish purchase of some run-of-the-mill modern value razor, not really worthwhile, but I was hasty to have one a few years back. My second is what I really wanted: something old, something with character, and something that is going to take some elbow grease to get back to glory. I don't know the specifics of my new razor other than it's called a "Bulldog Razor", so I hope that you can help. I plan to follow this post up with a few photos of my first restore project.

Here's to continual learning!

Welcome. You might want to check in with your relatives. Likely they still haven't found any use or had any interest in those historic implements.

Welcome! You've come to a great place with lots of helpful people that can help you on your way. Ask questions and enjoy
