I've got 2 more people to take up straights.
My twin brother & a friend are both going over to straights now.
We were having a few beers & shooting the breeze at theBisley Antique arms fair last week when the conversation moved from Randall knives &various other custom makers to razors as I was selling some knives from my collection to help pay a mastercard bill due to ebay fever&the most recent additions to my collection.
The quality of my shave was commented on & Itold them that I use a staight exclusively now .
I am now at the point that most of my shaves last all day & Iget no irritation. I set them both up with straights & old strops to get them started& Ive Just ordered some of Lynns DVDs for them as this Is the best teaching aid for newbies & more experienced people Iv'e ever used .
