I'm a newbie at this, never even seen a straight razor in my life except for pictures. BUT i'm hardcore at researching stuff that I don't know about SO long story short after several days of looking for the perfect straight razor to make my one and only (o who am i kidding i'll get more) for the rest of my life daily shaver.

well I found and purchased this razor off craigs list not really knowing to much about it. from the description is made in germany, and it's never been used but in storage for a long long time.

New "Old" Solingen Straight Razor in Case

didn't know if there is someone I should ship this out to to have them do the best job at getting this thing in shape if it needs a sharpening.

I live in louisville KY area, but am willing to ship it to make sure I get the perfect first shave from my new straight razor
