Been lurking for a while.
I really enjoy the forum and the information here is out standing. A little about me. I am 46 a professional firefighter in Charlotte NC married with three beautiful children. I have wanted to start using a straight razor for a few years now and have not as of yet. I have an old Leader of my dads that after watching the restorations on here have disassembled and polished and made new scales for. I have been making knives for about two years so I have a little background with the restore part. My question is I have bought a few razors off ebay and was curious which one might make the best shaver. I have bought the following:
Shumate 256 half hollow ground 4/8
Peter L. Frost Hollow ground 5/8
J. A. Henkel 70 1/2 hollow ground 5/8
C.F Wolf Allentown etched half hollow ground 5/8
Bema 58 hollow ground 5/8
Thanks
Jeff
