Hallo from Cape Town, South Africa
Hi!
I am somewhat crazy about knives and the art of sharpening.
Specifically sharpening to the point where you can shave hair.
I discovered a straight blade razor in my local knife shop and decided to give it a try.
Unfortunately it is not of the best quality, stainless steel and not carbon, but I managed to get it quite sharp with my strop.
Will give shaving a try tonight.
Have been looking on the net for straight razors available in South Africa, but can only find Edwin Jagger at around $170 which is a bit high.
I would really like to know if there are any members from South Africa on this forum and if so, who/where do they buy their razors from?
Looking forward to your feedback.
