Ok so its not really a hobby more of a necessity as swmbo hates any kind of stubble. i was brought a Dual Edge safety razor about a year and a half ago and it stemed from that into buying and restoring straight razors. so far ive done 3 and have shaved with all of them top to bottom 1940's ish paragon 4/8" Pre 1890 B.B Wells Extra Hollow Ground 5/8" and lastly my favorite as it too the most work it was in a really bad and rusty shape is a Taylor's Eye Witness The 1000 made between 1838 and 1890 in 6/8" fantastic to shave with and took alot of slow wet sanding to bring it back up to this shape. And of you guys prefer a more traditional shave? Ky

Had the best shaves ever with a cutthroat razor in various dives around the world. Always nervous during the process though- at least a BIC disposable will only give you a painful nick.....

Never had a bad cut with them "touch wood" but ive never had a shave nearly as good from disposables or cartridge razors and i would suggest any man has a straight shave once in their life they aren't worth a great deal maybe £50 each to the right person but it was another form of saving something from the bin and although im never going to find out the history of each of them because of the age of the older ones they have this aura about them its defiantly a weird vibe they give off.
