Thread: Newbie with some old razors

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie but my little brother got me into straight razors, I guess it goes hand in hand with my liking to old muscle cars.
My brother gave me the L.Lowe/"Invincible" as a starter with a strop. My wife got me a Wade & Butcher Sheffield from an antique shop a ways away. Yesterday my family and I went to another antique shop & I picked up a "Silver Beauty"/"American Beauty". The lady said the box was original and it has "English Steel" embossed on it. I know very little about my razors. Lynn said my Invincible is pre-WWII and the Butcher seems to be a more popular, but it needs the most work. I really like all of them but the American Beauty is the coolest and in the best condition. I learned how to shave on the Invincible. It was a very patient and bloody process at first.lol I'm going to get them all restored. Thanks to this forum, I learned what NOT to purchase whenever I'm interested in a razor & I'm grateful for the knowledge in SRP
