Restoring vintage razors showed me disposable blades aren't the only clean option
I know most barbers today use disposable blades because they think it's more hygienic. But I've been collecting and fixing old straight razors as a side project, and I disagree. With proper cleaning in an autoclave, these razors are just as safe. This hobby lets me cut down on waste and honor the craft's history. Sure, it takes more effort, but the shaves are incredibly close and smooth. Why not give traditional tools a chance with the right care? I've found clients appreciate the personal touch it adds to their visit.
