Thread: Plan on learning to use a straight razor

Hi Erin!

Welcome to SRP. a great deal of knowhow & fun is to be had here. There are some other Lady Shavers here, I should know Ladies Corner is worth reading right the way through. You might also want to read through http://straightrazorpalace.com/shavi...hie-razor.html Yes it is a huge thread, but it will answer a lot of questions.

The reason PCR started was that some of us realised that the most important dimension on a razor for nooks & crannies is length. There have been a couple of razors ground down from 3" to a more easily usable 2 or even 1 1/2". One of the custom makers, Butch Harner, has made a couple of short blades & even had his first straight razor shave with one.

Have fun here & keep asking. We will do our best to give you an at least semi-serious answer.
