Thread: Long-time Lurker, New Member

Hello all, while new to the forum, I've been straight razor shaving for a few years now and have been lurking for a while. Now I've got a bit of a collection of razors I'm planning on restoring rather than sharpening and using. I look forward to contributing to the community.

Here's my babies:

Dovo #25 from the fritz-braacht era with the box that is still hard to open. Hardly used at all.





Erick Antonberg Garanti. Some pitting on spine, mostly discoloration.


Geo Wostenholm & Son Imperial. Some scale wear on the back and very mild pitting on spine.


H. Boker & Co. Was my user until the edge cracked and chipped near the toe.


Clauss of the Fremont era. Celebrating the Coronation of King Edward in 1902. Their faces are etched in the blade. Going to be a tough restore to save that if it's even possible.

Welcom e toSRP.

Welcome to SRP! I lurked here for a good six months before I signed up, so no worries there. Though I should mntion that once you start to work with straight razors you'll be more than tempted to try it out yourself

Have fun,

I lurked for a few months before joining in. I guess I was not sure if I wanted to commit or not. Five razors later I am still here. Welcome to SRP.

I have been straight razor shaving for about 2 years now. Only way my sensitive skin allows it. Took a few years of looking at my grandfather's straight razor before I worked up the nerve though. Little did I know it would actually nick me less than with a safety razor.

lol - I guess I meant you'll be more than tempted to try those razors, especially that Dovo as she's definitely a looker.
