Thanks for the tip Fergiebilly, but if I'm being honest, that looks just as dangerous. I like my face the way it is, thankyou.

The Result..BBS..Dolphin Smooth..There isn't a Factory Blade Razor on the Planet as Comfortable & Leaves the Skin Like Velvet as a Hollow Ground Blade in the Right Hands..

Make up your mind, Hamburg and Solingen are a long way apartA shave-ready Kropp straight razor. 6/8 with black horn scales. Sheffield steel, ground in Hamburg (Solingen) circa 1910. 'Tis half-hollow ground with an extra hollow profile. Hopefully a marked step-up from my Gold Dollar!
Should be arriving today!
I wish I could! It says on the shank that it's 'Made in England, ground in Hamburg', but I was told it was Solingen - the seller I know to be knowledgeable in the area of straight razors but I'm going to go with Hamburg for now!Make up your mind, Hamburg and Solingen are a long way apart.... or am I being a fool (not unknown ), and is there a part of Solingen that's called Hamburg?
I wasn't having a go, it's not impossible that there is a district in Solingen called Hamburg: the larger towns and cities in Germany are divided up into districts, and the city name always comes before the district. like Hamburg Wandsbek, or Berlin Charlottenburg for example. Maybe there is a Solingen Hamburg, who knows, I've never been there so I can't sayI wish I could!

Thanks for putting me in my place!

It's sometimes not easy here when you don't know the language or the country: it's easy to make mistakes. I live in Lübeck, and the tourists that come here often confuse Hamberge (about 2 Kms from Lübeck), and Hamburg, which is 75Kms away, about 50mins on the Autobahn
