Hi there I am going to give this straight razor away on Friday if you want it put a post up saying so and I will put your name into the hat. The only thing that I ask is that you haven’t used a straight before so this is a good time to try one out for free. I bought the razor off ebay because the picture looked nice however when I got it I found out that it had been restored by somebody else (I like to restore razors myself so it’s got to go) I have put new scales on it as the old ones were rubbish. I have honed it and shaved with it twice and it is a really nice smooth shave. It will be put into Barbicide before I send it out.
[edit] actually, I may not qualify because I have tried a straight way back in the dim and distant, but it's not as if I'd know what I'm doing or anything.
If lucky enough to win, will do same with Merkur Barberbole long handled thingy. Used about 6 times from new. Mint condition. Thought I liked long handled razors 'till I got my Lux. Still a great razor.
It's about time I joined the gannet squadron so please put my name in the hat as well, Exile. Even if I don't win top marks for such a generous offer. I've always backed off from buying as straight to try in case I didn't like it. The chance of winnning a free one to try solves that problem
A nod and and a wink in your direction, please count me in, i really want to try Straight Shaving,
i tried out one of those Sanguine Things where it takes have a regulare DE Blade, and it was awful....looked like i was into self harming !!!
