Hello str8 shavers,
I'd like to have your opinion on a str8 razor I bought back in 1984 in NY.
It says First class Solingen and it has a serial number.
I sent it to Billy in this forum to be made shave ready as I intend to give straight shaving a go alongside my DE's and SE's, maybe if I like it I'll be won over to straights.
Billy said it's a nice razor and a keeper, so I wonder whether this one would be a good beginner's tool.
I will consider buying a different one if you might care to suggest a more fitting str8 for a beginner, to preserve the Solingen, which comes with memories of my college days.
I must admit, when I first used it out of the box back then, I needed a transfusion,
and a plastic surgery, but on the other hand I didn't know anything else but carts.
Your input please.
