Hey guys, so I'm pretty new to straights and have a Seraphim GD mod I'm learning with. I've gotten some WTG shaves in learning my technique and received my first strop in the mail so I'm learning to strop as well.
I want to add another razor to my collection so I have two to rotate with and can switch sending them out for rehoning. So I've narrowed down a few, just asking what you guys would recommend of these. If you think they're all fine just let me know what you'd pick and why. I can post more pics if necessary. I believe they're all full or half hollow at least. Thanks ahead of time.
First up is a Geneva Cutler Genco "Old Dutch" 6/8 says American made early 1900s
Next is a Friedrich Herder & Son 6/8 out of Solingen
Third for consideration is an G&S Welkut 11/16 Solingen
Next is an R.Clark Taylor Eye Witness "The 1000" Sheffield
Now a Wade & Butcher "Extra Hollow Ground" 6/8 Sheffield around 1900
Two more to go, Dorko 1151 7/8 Solingen mid 1900s? This one has some rust pits.
Last but not least a C.V. Heljestrand MK No. 5 6/8 Eskilstuna. Early 1900s maybe, non original horn scales.
The expertise and advice of the members of this forum would be greatly appreciated to help me narrow down my list.
