I have decided after years of thought, to give straight razors a try. Much charting of coagulation times for the first couple of
weeks, but can now complete a shave without bloodshed. My local antique shop was well stocked with reasonably price razors:
Filharmonia 13, Wester Brothers DeFi, a Swedish Frameback and several others. Of all, my favorite is the frameback and so I have
bought several others and am learning everyday. Many thanks to SRF and all the great info.
