Well, that's a bit of luck to start with! Free stuff is great! It may need honing though, so be aware of that & maybe test before using it. Search for TPT. You never know, it could've been stored shave ready?

Welcome indeed! Reading up on and asking questions will save you a ton of problems... trust me!

Welcome to SRP from one newbie to another!

I just sent my razors out to be honed today, so I'm eagerly awaiting their return, too (and they haven't even arrived at the honemeisters!). You'll get yours before mine come back, I'm sure. Definitely get the camera ready and post lots of pics!!!

Definitely read, read, read, and ask, ask, ask.

Do you plan to use brush & mug? Or just canned stuff?

Congrats on the lucky find!

Congrats! I called my grandma recently to see if there was a family heirloom...no dice.

When you're reading, be sure to read a lot about RAD...you'll be surprised how quickly you can develop it, even in a "recession."

Thank you all.

You should post pics with your post when you get the razor.

Razor porn!!!

Will do.
