Nice restoration work!

I've always had some idea of what patina looked like, but I think I got confused by references to it on what looked like rusty razors on various forums. Occasionally posters...

What you cleared up for me here is the distinction that patina usually covers the entire surface.

My first razor should arrive in the mail probably today or tomorrow. I'm wondering if I do not...

I like how the video shows how quickly a razor can begin to rust if exposed to water. I'm don't know much about knives, but I vaguely know some people do a forced patina to bring in the protective...

Got it. What would the difference be, if anything, between rot and patina?

Hah, you are good. I watched one of your Stroptober videos today. It's so nice to have all this info readily available. 10 or 20 years ago the average Joe wouldn't have access to so many easy to...

Good. Just wanted to be clear that I'm very happy with his service since I chose a razor in question, sold by him. Thanks again for the comments. I've found the wet shaving communities to be very...

I don't think Larry gave that type of sales pitch. I mailed him asking for a Tennis and he looked through his stock and couldn't find one. He kept looking and found one two days later. What I thought...

Ah, that's a little disappointing as I was thinking the blade would clean up. I won't mess with it. That red stuff on the tang area might clean up though, right?

Nah, I got just what I was looking for - a Tennis that will clean up nicely and comes honed for under 50 bucks. To me, koolaid drinking means spending more than I want. Shaving my beard off for...

Update: Larry at Whipped Dog already found me a Tennis that I think I'll be happy with. It's another 5/8 with a blade that has never been honed and will leave me with a little more budget for the...

Being new to safety razors, I've enjoyed my Mühle R89 so much the last couple months. It's new and shiny and has done wonders for my shave. While browsing for a replacement to my homemade scuttle, I...

Well, I mailed Larry recently and he mailed right back saying he'd keep a lookout for a Tennis for me. I've browsed the recent classifieds here, but haven't really dug through them. I guess I should...

In that case, does anyone know the likelihood that Straight Razor Design may get the best quality Dovo 6/8 back in stock in the coming weeks or anywhere I could get a deal close to that good? I see...

I did start out with a $2.55 Chinese safety razor, then upgraded to a $37 R89. Are you thinking along the lines that I should try it out first to figure out what I want before the investment, or is...

After decades of trouble shaving, finding DE razors has helped tremendously. I've decided, why not try a straight now? Since I've been playing tennis longer than I've been shaving and I love the...
