    Default Bought my first straight, How did I do?

    Hi guys,

    Received my first straight in the mail today. Don't know anything about it, except that its a ERN obviously.

    It is honend and shave ready. I'm waiting on my next salary to buy a strop, and to have my first shave with it, cant wait! I paid 35 euro's for it. I'm quite happy with it myself.

    You chose a very good vintage razor. They all shave well. Good luck.

    You can wrap one or two pieces of black print newspaper around a hardcover book and strop the edge on the paper. Ink is abrasive and will help maintain the edge. Enjoy.

    That looks like a great first blade. Congratulations! You should get some great shaves from that ERN.

    ERN's are great razors and you've got yourself a nice specimen there. Enjoy the shaves with it
