    Default My First

    I received my very first straight razor yesterday. I ordered it from Bob Keyes. It is a restored Ambos Schlager that was, as best as I can tell from looking them up, made between 1925 and 1935. The blade has a few "tarnished" spots on it, but it is in great condition, and it arrived shave ready. I am excited.

    (The shaving edge is not touching the Tabac lid. The spine is).

    Happy shaving! Just take it slow and easy. The wiki has a lot of info on how to start.
    Nice blade.
