Memphis

Dose anyone know if there is a place to buy straights in Memphis TN thanks

These days it is rare to find a brick and mortar store that sells new straights, much less ones that are truly shave ready.
If you are looking for a vintage one you could check out some antique stores in the area or some of the flea markets.

IMHO, your best bet is to either get one through the classifieds here or from one of the recommended vendors on the site.

That's what I figured thanks for the reply

No. Haven't seen anything ,, but the places that have them are only as far as your mailbox,, buy from a reputable place that will send them shave ready ,, they will guarantee your satisfaction , so nothing lost. Tc

So were can I fund a good straight around here I'm new to SRS and want a good blade

What size razor do you prefer. also what grind point and where it's made. Sheffield Solingen or USA. And if you find a place in Memphis let me know. PLEASE.

There ain't nothing around here Roger, everything I've bought has been online ,, or some nice guy over in Parsons sent me one! But with SRD for new blades and our classifieds for good used in all price ranges, I haven't needed any where else except for my customs I've had made or my friend Glen coming up with the odd have to haves , JWI I think there's a couple in the classifieds right now that are very reasonable or just check them everyday, something always comes up, if budget is a concern ,, you can pick up something around 50- 60 dollars already honed ready to go Good luck.

What I really like to do is to shop. I love going into places like Smoky mountain knife works and look and if there was a cutlery shop in Memphis that would be close enough for me to ride there and back in a day. I was wondering about the preference of the gent from the Memphis area so if I saw something in his category I could let him know.

Yep very cool to stop at SMKW,s that's at least a 2 day ride though , cause as long as your there got to go into North Carolina. Maybe the blue ridge parkway or the Dragon, heck even the antique stores around here don't have much. Tc
