hey guys im really new here. i was lucky enough to have a nice handful of straights before i got interested in the actual shaving. i had a nice variety to choose from. so i picked one that i was giving a friend for xmas to get him started as well. so yes i did his first lol. it was a geneva "tiger" that i cant find much info on. i unpinned, and polished it up and repinned. he was over the moon happy so i call it a success. my pins arent perfect, and on looking at some of my other ones they arent either so it didnt bother me a bit. but please give me the truth and nuttin but the truth! lol. thanks for all your insight by the way guys!
