    Default My first str8 (c.1972)

    Just thought I would share a pix of my very first str8.
    I picked it up in Salt Lake City sometime in 1972.

    With it I picked up a Belgn water stone (yellow Coticule) that is still killer
    and a strop I wish I still had not lost in my last move.

    You've looked after that! Have you shaved continuously with a straight since then? It seem's uncommon not to have been led astray by other methods occasionally!

    Continuously no.
    My X liked a full beard for a couple of years.
    She said something about scraping burnt oatmeal from the pan...

    Is that the only razor you have? If so, you have more self control than all the members on this board combined.
