Hi everyone, I have been browsing this forum for a month or so now, and it has help quite a lot in my attempts to find out a bit more about the history of some of the razors I have collected over time, and cleaned and lightly restored but never really used at all untill quite recently.
I am a carpentry student and have for some time had a love of good old English steel, any and all woodworking tools especially old chisels, but recently this love of old steel has branched out to straight razors.... I just love the simple and beautiful designs and how they changed over the decades and centurys,
Anyway this brings me back to the title of this "thread", when it was just tools I used in the shed, I think she could cope with it but now it has extended to the bedroom and the bathroom, (female territories ) ((sorry)) , I have gone too far it seems and I am harshly silenced every time I utter a word about "the quality of this blade" ect
I have NEVER joined or posted on ANY forum so I dont even know what I am doing or if I am writing this to who/where/how but I will just see what happens lol

Anyway thanks for all the info and it is nice to see that I am not alone, and there are people out there who appreciate the beauty of good old steel and the art of proper shaving... (I cant believe how nice it felt to use a proper straight razor instead of the clipper (meant for cutting head head) and cheap plastic disposables I had got used to shaving with)

Rant over, if I figure this out I will perhaps post some pics of a few old razors that I cannot seem to find much/any info on
Cheers guys all the best, George
