Hello and help from Idaho.

Good morning folks. I am new to the straight razor community and looking to get off to a good start. I was wondering if one of you seasoned shavors might help me with a question or two.

I am thinking of buying a straight razor that is advertised as a "solgen #44" and was wondering if you could help me clear up a couple of questions. 1. Is it possible that he means Solingen and not Solgen? 2. How do I identify a good quality Solingen vs. a knock off like the ones mentioned in the razors to avoid section of the beginners guide?

I would appreciate any advice you could give.

Thanks

PICs????

There is a Japanese razor that goes by Solgen looking for pics now

I am up in Sandpoint if yer close let me know, also we have two Meets for the NW area each year, the next is in Yakima on May 5-6th then another in the Fall in Spokane

Always great to see another Idahoan here on SRP :)


Whoops those are #75 so sorry no help for you I guess :shrug:

Thank you very much. This is very helpful. I had no idea about those get togethers and if I can make one I will.

Thanks again.
