Recently, I sent for a straight razor from the Young Razor Co. They are on the web and easy to find. Being that this was my first straight, when it came, I assumed it was shave ready, since the ad had said it would be.
Well, it wasn't quite there. In fact, I could not shave hair on my arm, let alone my face.
Being new at this, I went to my barber, who ordered me a strop and a hone.
One strop and hone later, I had a really nice looking butter knife.
So, I wrote to the Young company. I asked for hints on how to sharpen a razor.
Gary Young, the owner, was not satisfied to give me hints. He sent me a new razor that IS shave ready, and apologized for the first one not being up to par. I tried it this morning, and it worked just fine, a really good razor for the $20 it cost! Can't imagine what would make it better, it just works.
So, if anybody is looking for a good razor, I'll tell you go to Young razors and you won't be sorry. They are a class act, they stand behind their product, and the razor works great! :thumbup:
