Hard to imagine there would be any new news to share in a mag about straights monthly or bi-monthly. I know there are knife mags.
It's just Sharpening, right?

There’s an online straight razor magazine, I don’t think they have physical copies, though

Aloha!
As much as WE love wet shaving and straight razors, we are a tiny group in the scheme of things. You could not sustain a printed monthly magazine with having to get advertisers and pay production and postage costs. Even large "catch-all" magazines have failed over the years. Once BIG magazines like "LIFE" and "COLLIERS" are long gone. A wet-shaving/straight razor magazine would not stand a chance of survival. I'm not being negative or cruel, just realistic.
Online, it is possible to survive if the owners of the domain keep up interest and have contributors.
The only one I know of ONLINE is "Straight Razor Magazine".
Link to their website is HERE
Mahalo!

It appears that the last additions to that were in 2013. What is there is certainly interesting. The are zines that are regular published electronic versions of magazines, but I have not seen one for wet shaving that one could subscribe to. I too would buy a regular publication in print or electronic format if it was available and had reasonable content.

TBH, this forum seems to be the best form of a magazine in today's (old school) standards. I think?
A SOTD coffee-table book would be sweet.
