    Default Admirer of things of the era of good craftsmanship joins your ranks!

    Hi all,

    Just made my first purchase today of a Straight razor. (Actually two!)

    I saw them in an antique store a while ago and have been thinking of them since.

    About me:

    23/M/Melbourne
    Possibly an old soul.
    Currently: Cafe Waitstaff/Aviation student.

    Likes Film photography and old things.

    Will post about my razors in another thread. (Pics and all!)

    Cheers,

    El

    Welcome!
    Well done on the purchase! As I'm sure you have learned, or will soon learn, get them honed by a pro.
    I had one honed by a professional, and kept one for fettling and learning the craft. Then I just kept buying the damn things even though I still can't hone!!!!

    I tell you, as soon as I have the skills, I will be one busy fella...

    The people on here are really genuine, and there is a bucketload of advice available. Even if your question is one of the more repeated ones, people will always give you help and advice, even if it's just a link to a past thread.

    Take things slowly and learn each part well, young jedi!

    Thanks! I spent the last 3 years learning to fly at Archerfield after having moved up from Sydney, so don't worry - I'm not from Melbourne
