Oddly enough, I got started sharpening because of straight razors, then started to apply my skills there to kitchen knives. Good to officially be a part of the group!
I started with a gold dollar, but my favorite now is a vintage Eagle 6/8 and 4/8 union spike point. From the perspective of performance. None of my razors are really good looking.
Sounds good to me! Nothing against beauty, but function is always above form to me. I started with knives and lately i've got my first straight razor. Still lots to learn.
