Use a straight. You know it makes sense.

Fromm 72r

Post by mike'sworld »

I just bought a new never used Fromm 72r from ebay for about the price of a fast food meal (less than $10 dollars). I've never shaved with a modern straight and do not hone my straights other than to touch up an edge.
What can I expect from this straight? Anybody else have one? The initial honing would likely be done by whippeddog.
Thanks all.

I don't know about the Fromm, but I do wish you nothing but great shaves from it. You can get Larry (whipped dog) to hone it up for you and make it shave ready. That's a good move. You will need a strop for maintaining the edge, as I'm sure you're already aware.
