    Default The Americans are here!

    Just got three razors back from being restored, and am blown away. My pictures don't do them justice, but there is a thread on another forum that has before and after pictures. Drygulch's Trio | TheShaveDen

    I love American straights as well. I am partial to Geneva/Genco and Torrey straights. I have only ever encountered one that I could not make shave wonderfully and it even shaves "good". They are the rivals of any Sheffield or Solingen straight that I have, many at ten times the cost of the American straights.

    Umm I mean American steel is not under appreciated and actually sucks! They are unsafe to use and can be sent to me for resto...destruction for free. In no way should they be more appreciated thus increasing the cost at which they can be acquired!

    Beautiful trio of straights! Enjoy!

    I shaved with the Case this afternoon. Based on that, I am going to have to agree with you. I want to help too! To keep from inflicting American razors on others, send half of them to Docmo, and half to me. That way you won't have too big of a burden.

    Very nice, I particularly like the texturing of the scales on the small one. Enjoy.

    I agree we must remove these vile instruments from unsuspecting hands of others.
    I've managed to capture a few movies file creatures and are waiting for the day of thier shaving, i mean destruction.
    My line-up of preparation for destruction.
    Top. 2 torreys.
    Clockwise:
    Permaco, Mason brand.
    Schmidt&Krug, Geneva, NY
    THOMAS MFG. Dayton Oh.
    2 of the notorious Clauss brother
    And a Arcade out of Springfield Oh.

    So you can send them to any one of us for incarceration,and disposal

    Thanks mike
