Tried a new soda today. Dandelion and burdock, it had an interesting flavor, but it wasn’t my favorite. This company has some other flavors that I would like to try, such as Victorian lemonade and orange jigger.

Straight Razor Saga

Over the course of a couple of weeks I have come to the conclusion that I want to start shaving with a straight razor. A couple of my co-workers want me to document my experiences. This is going to Mr. Keedy and Bbautista, I hope you guys enjoy this! 

So here are a few of the razors that I have, 3 are antiques and one I brought brand new. Also I have learned a lot from Straight Razor Place, this place is awesome for information about shaving. Back to the razors, as I said 3 antiques, one of which is from my in-laws the Fred Dolle pictured below. 

I have been refinishing this razor, spent so far about 4 hours hand sanding this. The other two I bought off of ebay, one a Frederick Reynolds and the other a Herbrand. Both are pictured below.

Frederick Reynolds

Both of the ebay razors need to be refinished, but once I get those done I will be able to hone them and make them “shave ready.” So as this adventure continues I will try to keep up this blog letting everybody know about my adventures in straight razor shaving.
