    Welcome to SRP. Were you a straight razor grinder by chance ? Shave with them in the past or now ? Love to hear some of your experience.

    Yes I've ground I'served my time grinding razors and I've never shaved with any thing but my cutthroat except a forced time 1939 to 1946 guess why?

    Welcome to the forum. We are honored to have you join us. I hope 1939 to 1946 was not too terrible a time for you but I fear that it may have been.
