OT - Straight Razor Tips
My grandma died recently, and in a chest in her basement I found three new in box straight razors that would've been my great grandfather's. He died even before my dad was born.
Anyhow, I've always loved a good hot lather straight shave, to the point I'll pay way too much for one, so I thought I'd teach myself. Suggestions? Good places to get a strop?
But this is the fun sort of question to pose to MGoBlog. Eclectic and eccentric.
MaggardRazors.com is based in Adrian - about an hour southwest of Ann Arbor, and they have more selection & expertise than I've seen at the tobacconist in the arcade. Their prices are competitive with anything on Amazon, and their customer service is outstanding.
The owner (Brad) also restores straight razors and has some awesome work on display in the gallery section of that site, and plenty of happy testimonials on BadgerAndBlade.com and elsewhere.
I'll chack them out!
