Thread: First Buy

Thank you. I'm still researching them myself as most of them are German, french and maybe Italian blades.

I plan to send some into Nates Straights to get restored.

You've got some good ones there. Of course some of them are bad.
I like the frameback. And a couple of the other ones have minimal hone wear.
That frameback should be a great shaver. And the round tip razors in my opinion are easy to shave with (as opposed to square or spike tips). Great beginners razors. Half of my daily shavers are round tips though it seems there are those who don't like them.

Get them pro-honed unless you have experience with honing straight razors.
IMHO it is best to start out shaving knowing what a properly honed razor feels like.

I would send the frameback to get honed and light polish and use it for awhile
