I Won a New Vintage Straight

I went on The Shave Den forum today and saw a post for a straight razor pif. The gentleman was offering five different vintage razors.



He said, to enter, I had to choose two and PM him. I know very little about straights, so I PMed him that I liked #1 and #5. I was one of the five guys to get a new razor. I got No.5, the J.M. Schmid razor. That is all I know about it, except he said that it has a excellent edge.


He said it would be shave ready when I receive it, but I would need a strop to maintain the edge. So, now, I am in the market for a strop. More to come...

Update: July 2

It arrived today. 

Planned shave for July 3



I got this strop for maintaining the razor.
