First one was a W.H. Morley & Sons, Clover Brand Made in Germany. I found it at an estate sale. Honed by holli4pirating. It's in my rotation now.

My first was a 5/8 DOVO Black Star. I bought it in a knife store it was not shave ready. So I bought myself some hones and now it shaves great.

My first razor was a Union Cutlery "Blue Steel" that was given to me by my friend Icedog. He is one of the most generous people that I know.

My first two razors were bought on the same day from the same vendor at the weekly collectables fair at the St Lawrence Market:
Edwin Blyde & Co 5/8ths round point, 1/2 hollow
Kama "Extra" 5/8ths round point full hollow
Both were honed by my barber here in T. O. Both good razors.
The Kama went to a newbie down in Kentucky a couple of years ago, but I've still got the Blyde and it sees pretty regular use.

My first razor was a Flic 7/8th. from theinvisileedge.co.uk it has become one of my favourites along with my Geneva cutlery co. 5/8ths.
I've just won another Flic which is in even better condition than the first.I reccomend them to newbies (if you can get to them before I do).Last edited by charlie762; 11-24-2009 at 03:34 PM.

A Double Arrow that I learned to hone on with a Norton 4k/8k... a couple of months ago! That one... still gotta get around replacing the scales.
