Handle broke on my straight razor - repairable or buy another razor?
Hello everyone:
I have a Bonza staight razor (hollow-ground) that I bought from this forum roughly 10 years ago. I'm not sure how old this razor is overall. About a week ago, the black plastic handle that was on it broke at the hinge pin. I am still shaving with the razor but it gets a little sketchy. Is it possible to get another handle fitted for this or should I splurge for a new razor?
If I need to buy another blade, House Of Knives is the the only brick/mortar store I know of locally (Vancouver Island, BC) to get one. The problem is that they only have fancy engraved razors that cost upwards of $300CAD. I am okay with spending 100-200 for a good one though.
Also, should I get another plastic handle or a wood one this time? Which one would be stronger?
Thanks!
