Hey! I'm Javier and I currently Live in Northern Tennesse/Southern Kentucky. I started geting facial hair at an early age and so, as with everything I delve into, I did research. Of course, I started with my dad's Gilette five bladed razor. But being into history as I am, I was interested in the older methods of shaving as more and more whiskers sprouted. I switched from a modern Gillette to an old Gillette safety razor. My brother started using a straight razor and I became interested in it as well though my parents aren't very keen on the thought. My brother would always walk out of the bathroom with a smooth face. Now that my bro's off to better things, I've taken up his razor. I was going to write a little report card blog on what I got right and wrong with each of my first shaves since I'm still learning. It would be a bit entertaining.

I don't know where my razor was made though but the stamping looks pretty old. It says Ernst Witte on it and has the remnants of an etching saying WEY 'RA or something like that. It looks like it has Ivory Scales as well. I take very good care of it so don't worry. I might even start a collection of them.

Glad to be here!

Javier
