    Default About Time to Introduce

    Hello All,

    I'm in SoCal (southern california) and have been lurking for a few months now and figured it's time for an introduction.

    25 years or so ago I started shaving with a straight but left it behind due to the usual hectic life style. I still have my old cutlery world first class solingen and shaving accessories. So I decided to bring my first class back to shave ready status and while acquiring hones and such I found this site.

    So thanks to this site and the pic's of all the old non-shiny razors I have caught RAD. Since having RAD a month or so now I have been lucky enough to acquire 2 wostenholms, 1 shave ready case, 1 w&b to try my first rescale, 1 boker and 1 dubl duck. All in good to excellent condition.

    I look forward to participating in more activities here on the forum and getting together when the socal group gets together again.

    Welcome, Shooter. We're glad to have you here.

    Be sure to post pictures of the razors in either the Show and Tell area or in the many specific "Brotherhood" areas.

    We love pictures!!

    My first razor was an old Chicago Cutlery 1st Class Solingen as well. Bought it in 1973.

    Welcome!
