Nice pick-up!

I think there used to be a brother who restored vintage handles? Not sure.

There is probably plenty of discussion about this over at BadgerandBlade.com (They are kinda like BOTL, but for wet shavers)

I don't have a pony in this race, but I would recommend Straight Razor Place (SRP) forum over B&B - sure they are more geared to the straights, but they have a DE section and a TON more guys who actually restore. That, and they have a pretty healthy little cigar thread going on too .

I find B&B to be the "Puff" of wet shaving forums, and SRP to be more of the BOTL lol!

Thanks. Haven't shaved with it yet, but based on the cap angle and blade gap, it looks fairly aggressive. It may be this Saturday's shave...

I love the Blue Israeli Personna - not as sharp as feathers, but sharper than Astras or Derby (as far as I can tell).

I love the Israeli Personna blades,
especially these:

I just starting wet shaving. Would love any tips or advice. I've got a Weishi, Personna blades and a synthetic brush so far.
