    Hi Everyone!

    I just wanted to say that I've been reading SRP articles/posts for years now, ever since I've been using a straight razor, and I finally realized that I needed to thank all of you for the great site and great info. Without your help I never would have learned how to use - and even more recently - hone and restore my straight razors. Thanks for the help and guidance.

    Default My current razors

    Hi Randy,

    Here are a few pics of my current rotation. From top to bottom:
    1. A TI I got last year for my birthday. Black plastic scales. It took me a while before I got this one properly honed. Holds an edge for a long time though.
    Name: TI.jpg Views: 64 Size: 34.6 KB
    2. A Henry Sears and Son, Queen. Black Bake Lite scales...or at least I think they're Bake Lite. Buffed out some rust and pitting. Very easy to hone; turned out to be an amazing shaver.
    Name: HenrySearsAndSon.jpg Views: 67 Size: 31.3 KB

    3. A West Point Shumate. Clear blue acrylic scales; my favorite looking razor, although I'm selling it on eBay to make room for a few projects I'm working on.
    Name: IMG_0889.jpg Views: 63 Size: 26.7 KB

    Here are some razors that I'll be working on next. The top razor I'll just buff and polish. The Boker, I'll make some scales for that one; probably some blue G10. The Henckel's, I'm gonna try and keep the scales on that one, although they're in rough shape so I don't know if that'll be possible.

    So that's my current collection!
