At 21 blog followers, we are only 4 Followers away from the razor giveaway! I sincerely hope that we get there before the holidays arrive, so that someone who may want to give it as a gift, will be able to do so. And that someone for whom it would be a special personal treat, will be able to get it as soon as possible.
With most of my attention focused on the Little Stropper product line launch, I'm afraid I haven't given as much attention to my razors as usual. I am working now to rectify that oversight and to get more shave-ready straights out for sale ASAP. I have hundreds of them that are shave-ready, but I do need to take pictures. If you have any special requests - a particular brand, style or type of razor that you would love to own, please send us an email at assistance@vintageshavingshoppe.com and we will be sure to find what you need.

Welcome Blog Followers!
I just wanted to take a moment, in this season where we are all rushing around, stretching both our legs and our budgets, to thank everyone who has taken the time to follow our blog.
Blogs are, by nature, somewhat narcissistic and self-serving.. They are usually written by a single individual with a particular point of view. I try to fight this urge with every keystroke and just keep writing good content that will inform, amuse or otherwise aid you in your journey into the world of wet-shaving.
I would be remiss if I made no pitch at all for our new Magnetic StropBox System. This is a device that I'm very proud of. I put each one together with my own two hands for each of you. This device is how I finish each and every shave-ready razor we sell. So if you are a fan of our razors, then you are already a fan of our system. By using it, you will keep your razor shave-ready for longer than you ever thought possible. While I was stropping the old fashioned way, I never realized just how much time I spent standing in my washroom, staring at the tiles stropping razors. In retrospect, it was a somewhat odd thing to do. Now I can sit on my back porch, look at the trees and all those leaves I have yet to rake and strop razor after razor. At under fifty bucks for the entire system, it's a damn good deal. If you would like it for the holidays, send me the email address of your "gifter" and I will drop a subtle hint in their In Box ;-)
Not wanting to let this posting end on a self-serving note, I found a FREE book that you might find amusing. It is around 150 years old and is entitled: The Life & Adventures of Henry Smith The Celebrated Razor Strop Man. Yes, there IS a book about someone who strops razors for a living. It is, as the cover of the book says, "A complete collection of his original songs, queer speeches, humorous letters, and odd, droll, strange and whimsical sayings."
Enjoy it and welcome to the blog!
