Thread: Could use some advice please :]

Okay so I have bought a whole straight razor set for my bf this Christmas and I already have done the research and gotten everything. At this point I know more then he does about straight razors lol. However he has this old razor that he bought on a fluke and never used. I know he likes it because it has wolves on the blade and on the handle. So I swiped it today so I could send it to a professional razor sharpener, probably at straight razor designs. However I ran into a dilemma. I noticed that his razor is a Tomahawk and I know those are "bad" razors. Would it be even worth sending it in to get professionally sharpened, or should I not even bother?

As a professional razor sharpener, I can assure you that it is a waste of time

Let him admire the Tomahawk far away from his face

I'd say do not bother, the bad razor list is for razors that doe not take or can't hold an edge.

The guys here are right, just let it be pretty, pretty far from his face Here,s a thought though, you should try your hand at using one. Check the ladies corner, lots of good advice there, come on drink the koolaid!

Thanks guys!!! I am so glad I checked I just got it today and I was going to send it in tomorrow. That would have been a waste! BTW tiddle you are hilarious, I was actually thinking about getting a safety razor.....don't think I would ever need a straight razor :P

Good choice as well. Merkur makes a barber pole razor with a longer handle and a bit heavier than most, so the size is closer to what you are used to. Another bonus you can find packs of 100 blades for 20-30 bucks.

I wish my wife bought me stuff
