Greetings from StL; in from the cold
Just wanted to say "hey" to all.
Been lurking for a while while I refurbished my first traditional SR (an H. Schulder made in Solingen which I think is beautiful in its simplicity. She ain't a beauty but hey, she's alright...). Once it gets back from honing I can circulate my Dovo disposable to neighbors interested in trying a straight.
I would like to thank everyone for their excellent advice and suggestions.
A question I do have: some Wade & Butchers have what I think is called a "barber's notch" on the tip. What's the design function for that?
Again, my many thanks for the help, ladies and gents. Let's see if I can provide any in the future.Last edited by Lurker; 10-02-2011 at 03:11 PM.

Welcome to the forum....where's the pics of your restore?
The barber's notch may help in opening the razor, it may help in getting in and around the nose/moustache....or it just may look cool.

Welcome to the forum.
You should take a ride down to Cape and I can show you how to do your own honing and maybe some restoration fun as well.

Lurker,
Welcome to SRP Glad to have you aboard.
Its really great to have you join here, being as I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO.
+1 on the previous info. concerning your Wade & Butcher's barber's notch. There's been some debate here in the forum earlier about its real function.
Also, take Lynn up on his offer to teach you honing. He's awesome!

No pics on this restore. I was approaching it smooth and slowly. Did it all by hand (ie: no power tools) to keep my beloved amenable to another of my "projects." Plus I was worried about screwing it up and I hate advertising being a dumb adze.

Should have, though. Next time I'll dust off the camera and see how it is on close ups. Picked up a W&B Bow model to work on next. I'll make sure I document it best I can. I'll post a pic of the Schulder when she comes back from honing.
