    Cool If...

    I wouldn't have bought any straight razors with full-hollow ground or spike-point blades. Of course, if I hadn't, I wouldn't have any to sell now!
    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    So JB what do dislike about full hollows? Just curious myself. I think I understand spike points. Or at least the cut on my jaw knows
    I love living in the past...

    Skip the cheap soap and go with really good soap or cream.
    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

    Would never have bought any hones,let the pros do the deed,would have bought 4 kgs of P160 before they quit making it.
    would have bought more Palmaras back in the day.

    I would've travelled back in time to teach my dad how to shave with a straight razor so he could then teach me how to shave

    I would have bought the 220/1000 with the Norton 4/8.I have some antique store finds coming home this weekend and hope the 4/8 alone will do the job.

    My mistakes and triumphs have been worth it. Things are drying up and I am grateful to have some nice ones which are hard to see these days. I love fixing them up and shaving with them. I also have some which make me chuckle at how funky they are. Does anyone have razors they could never sell because you don't want anyone to know you bought them? I do!

    I think that I was lucky and had some folks that knew what they were doing to help me along. Would have been a rougher ride otherwise.
    Could have used a little (lot) more sense in the accumulations at times!

    if you had to do it all over again... I might just be the Dalai Lama of shaving .
