Thread: The complete resurection of a Geneva

Well before i got into straight razor use, i was giving my grandpas old razor that he used in like the 40s or some thing like that. any way when i saw someone use a stright razor i thought of i got one, and i used the old one i had, and torn my face up lol. After i made the mistake by buying a shitty "beauty and Barber" razor, a SRP member gave me one of his razor, after i got used to shaving, stropping, and honing i set my sights on the old geneva. I started at a 220 grit cuz it was wavey and small chips in it. After the last pass on the 8k i stropped it and i used it(of coarse i sterilized the blade) it was not the best shave, but still more effective than my old mach 3 razor.
Then i asked the question, why did they "improve" razors when the straight razor was the clear way to go?

Convenience. Disposable can be mass produced cheaply. The catch is you have to continue to by the cartridges. Evil cycle.

The only catch for a straight razor is you become addicted and you need to buy more
