Hello y'all from Cajun Country
At 60 yoa I decided to grow a Van Dyke and pulled out my daddy's old Bismarck. It wasn't long before I realized it needed "sharpening" and the research began, leading me to this site and the wealth of expertise that abounds here. Now I'm absorbing all the info while I await my Dovo tortoise, leather strop, brush, soap, et al.
P.S. I have a collection of rare Sheaffer fountain pens and am willing to trade pens for interesting straight razors. (preferably Bismarcks, Dovos).
