Lynn Abrams started the StraightRazorPlace as an internet Yahoo group in 2001 as a place where people who were interested in learning how to find, use, and care for straight razors could come together and share ideas. It began small and grew slowly at first. But within a year or so, the group began to grow quickly and more and more hobbyists, collectors, and interested people were able to discuss and spread whatever they knew about shaving with straights, old time barbershops, honing, and even where the best flea markets were.
In 2005, the group had outgrown its home and moved to StraightRazorPlace.com, the current information center for everything straight razor related on the internet. So much razor knowledge was accumulated by 2008 that a Wiki was launched as a way to help organize and collect some of the most often requested information. As membership continues to grow, local, national and even international meetings are held where people who restore and even forge their own razors can show off their work, others can learn how to hone, and people new to straights can even learn how to shave.
