My Ralph Aust from Straight Razor Designs...

[CaptainBlade]

So.. Here we are, "like 4 years later," and my first Straight Razor turns out to be a Ralph Aust.

Crazy, like I joined this website way back when with every intention on using a Straight Razor, but I had one major problem, "a physical disability." I have a problem with my nervous system and my hands used to be very shaky. Even though I had an interest in Straight Razors I couldn't bring myself to trust myself to be able to do this until very recently...

Well twelve years ago I started getting into all kinds of meditations and martial arts. This last year I noticed something very interesting, "a noticeable steadiness in my hands." I guess twelve years of practicing body mechanics and breathing.. Sooner or later that's going to work its magic...

Well my birthday was slightly over a week ago, and I went ahead and picked up my first Straight Razor... But Straight Razor Designs was out of stock on everything for the holidays... So I went with what they had, "a Raplh Aust." I was assured that the blade was of impressive quality...

Let me explain, when I hold this razor in my hand, it is bloody apparent that the blade is of impressive quality!!

Well, I haven't shaved yet.. LOL, it is Christmas Season, and I've been buying gifts not just for myself, but for family as well, meaning, "I still need to purchase my strop and other supplies in the next couple of weeks." However, that's ok!! Because I like to wear pencil moustache's and I had a crazy flu this winter, and I recently removed my stache, so that all needs to grow back.. And I'm just really excited to have my first blade. Thrilled that my hands are way steady now; something absolutely huge for me!!



Always think positive!!
