Hi There, greetings to you all.
I'm Bongo and I came to this site by a circuitous route.
At the tender age of fifty-something I've suddenly experienced razor rash for the first time in my life.
For the last six months my face has come to resemble a pepperoni pizza !!
I'd decided to throw the three and four bladed 'safety' razors away and seek alternatives.
I didn't like the cost and the environmental impact of disposable razor blades either.
Whilst searching on the interweb I kept hearing good things about Straight Razors.
Eventually this lead me to your forum and I hope to glean as much knowledge as I can before purchasing a Straight Razor.
I'm also a sometime knife maker, so I'm interested in restoring old 'straights' and might even have a go at making one from scratch.
That's me, and that's why I'm here !
Look forward to talking with you,
Bongo
