    Default Hello from Amarillo

    Just wanted to stop and say hi from TX. I've been using DE and SE razors going on two years now and have done at least one shave with most every type, although my favorites are my aluminum handle HD Rocket and one of my GEM 1912's. Last year at Xmas my father gave me a box with two of my Great Grandfather's straights and 3 of my Great Uncles straights and Swaty. I think I've finally worked up the courage to try one out and will need to pick one to get honed and buy a strop as well. I've attached a couple of pics of what I have to work with. The last razor was made in the town where I went to college.

    Left to right:
    Case Brothers Tested XX ---great uncle
    Tom Ray Double Forged --- great grandfather
    Clim The Perfect Razoe --- great uncle
    Claus BarbersSpec --- great grandfather
    George Wosten Holmes IXL --- great uncle
    Blish Mize Extra Hollow Ground --- College town

    Howdy Neighbor,

    Good to see someone else from West Texas. I've been doing the Straight razor thing for just a little while down here in Lubbock. One thing I have found out is that there are never enough razors
