Brand New to striaght razors
I am brand new to straight razors and picked up a pair of Union Cutlery (Olean, NY) because of the Kabar history and the proximity of the company to me here locally.
Am I in good hands?
Terms for 'it shaves well'
I found an obscure soligen at the last antique show - M.E. Reppenhagen Diamondine #107. It reminded me of a Genco, although it had a moderate smile. 'Turned out to be a wonderful shaver.
