Inherited a straight razor. Needs restoration
Hello all,
I've been a member of SRP for a year now, but have been mostly lurking off and on. About a year ago, I thought I would attempt a dabble into straight razor shaving after reading the wiki here and some stories, so I got one of those disposable Dovo Shavette razors. Best shave of my life. I haven't been back since. A few months ago, I told my in-laws what I was using and they told me they have my wife's great grandfather's razor. It needs restoration, but they'd like me to have it if there's a chance I could use it once again. They sent it to me and it does, if fact, need some restoration. I know absolutely nothing about restoring a razor, nor do I have the tools to do this. I called Straight Razor Designs today. I think I spoke with Don(?) He recommended I post an inquiry here for some advice about who to talk with about getting this razor restored. Could someone please post a recommendation about who to talk with. Or if you do restorations, could you please PM me or post here and we can talk? I took a few pictures of the razor so you can get an idea of its condition. I'll try to answer any questions as best I can, but I am very much a novice at this. My only experience has been with the Shavette.
Thank you
Elie
