Thanked: 0Hello from Chicago
I have been recently considering buying a straight razor and found this site on a search for information on the topic. It has been helpful in clarifying a number of question that I have had. I am looking to buy a razor off of the classified adds. the razors I have been looking at are called shave ready and I was wondering if razors sold here live up to that expectation. I am also curious if anyone knows someone in the Chicago area who hones blades as I may eventually need this service down the road. Also any suggestions on a cheap strop.
Thanks
Jeremy

If you go to Community>GoogleMap ME or to http://straightrazorpalace.com/vbgooglemapme.php you can see locations for members who've chosen to publish this information. You can also enter your own location here. This might be one way to get to know who is nearby.

Welcome Jeremy,
I also live in the Chicagoland area, Western Subs. Where are you at? I have purchased several of the razors off the classifieds and they al have been shave ready. As for a good strop check the classifieds as well.

Hey Jeremy,
Good deal. I've had mine for a little while now. I have about 9 shaves in now. Ever time I learn something new, either about my face, the blade, or better ways to prep, etc. The learning curve is steep but is very rewarding. Good luck.
