Thread: old man with old razors

I love to look at old razors, but I don't use one around my face or neck. Chicken...maybe. Maybe I can't decide which one I want to try...Henkels, W/B, etc. Shave now, because when you get older, your hands shake. Have fun!!!

Razors are kinda like women...try a new one each day and see which one treats you the best !

Welcome to SRP.

Thanks for the welcome Randy. I will keep your suggestion in mind!!!

I doubt if you are the only one here with that situation, hopefully others will chime in with their experience and how they compensate.

Larger wedge or near wedge construction to minimize shakiness? Oh darn, dispelling the mystery and romance. I like it old school and Old Schul, er, skool. Yeah, leave the spritely little full hollows to those who couldn't care less. The old cumbersome giants aren't relics at all, considering... this is what "community" was originally meant to be. Damn the prices they fetch, what is their Utilitarian purpose?

Stay away from brand names, they are names, earned reputations in their primes, historically speaking, but there are too many unaccounted for fantastically wonderful steels in open razor form to dismiss! It is form and function, the one is the same as the other. So, welcome to SRP!

thanks for the welcome. hope I will be able to add some decent conversations in the future. Still working 40 at 68 yrs. trying to keep head above water....gas food etc. and of course two grown kids who think I need to take care of them(ha ha) .

Welcome SRP (Straight Razor Place) is full of some very good information, especially in the WIKI link at the top. Members are also very good at answering questions! Enjoy
