V13 personal razor collection J Dobie of Glasgow Circa 1820

From my personal collection of vintage razors, i am trying to inspire others away from plastic razors and to enjoy the integrity of owning and using a vintage razor whether it be a vintage straight razor like this example of a rare safety razor. In my view, so much better than disposable razors.
I bought this razor J. Dobie i am using today from one of my Etsy friends (Alan). Here is a link to RazorHut www.etsy.com/u...
Alan has some great razors available in his shop for you to check out.
Hopefully these videos will inspire guys who have been considering a change to a traditional way of shaving for some time to take the plunge.

Good evening Graham. I had a nice straight razor shave this morning before work. Now it’s after work, I’m on my way to the Cigar show. Have a good evening, sir.

@@JamieHiggins-c6g J. Dobie & Co was an ironmonger in Glasgow. The founder was John Dobie (1820-1893), who had been born at New Abbey, a hamlet south of Dumfries, Scotland. The youngest of a large family, he began business with his brother as an ironmonger and cutler at Castle Douglas. In 1848, he married at Glasgow (Alison) Agnes Stirling (1825-1908). John opened an ironmonger and ‘cutlery warehouse’ in the city at 205 Argyle Street. By 1861, he employed four men and a boy. Besides cutlery - table knives, forks, and razors - he sold saws, edge tools, files, planes, and fishing tackle. Many of Dobie’s goods would have been sourced from Sheffield.
