what would you recommend? I am really eager to get a nice blade and get started

As long as there is a White Castle in Cannon, I think you guys will be in luck! Exactly how many bathrooms does this guy have?


Jk

I hope to be there next time. Hopefully the hazing isn't too bad for the newbies....

I will definitely take Rob up on his offer but I do not know if my blade is even worth it. It is very, very dull

How often do you guys head to Cannon? One of my best friends lives out there and it is a very small town

And thank you for the link. It appears to be very helpful!

I agree! rob seems like a very stand up guy.

I think i should just try to find a complete set on this site or a similar one. I want to do this right! Do these exist? Rob, do you think a vintage blade like mine is salvageable?

thank you for all the help. I have no intention at this point of working with antique razors. I just would like to be able to shave cleanly with a nice straight edge. I will probably start looking on...

Its a wade and butcher razor. On one side it says Manufactured by wade and butcher sheffield. I cannot read the other side but it looks something like "blank" and Ole's "blank" steel

thanks Rob, yes, I live in Mn. But I think my blade is a lost cause! I tried to test the sharpness by cutting my arm but could not draw blood no matter how hard I tried. I would rather start fresh....

thanks for the link. How important is a honing stone? And which grit is best? I really want to succeed with straight edge but seem to be having a rough start!

Hi everyone, I recently purchased my first straight razor (antique) and cannot get it sharp so I am looking to start over. I listened to my stepfather and apparently he has no idea what he is talking...
