    Default Newbie Checking in....

    Hey Everybody,

    I'm new around here and just had my first straight razor shave on tuesday. It was about as comfortable as shaving with a chainsaw, but I'm sure it will get better. Since every question I've had so far has been answered on the forum or on Lynns DVD, I havent really had occasion to post yet but wanted to check in. Thanks to everyone who shares his time and experience on here and I hope to be able to give back once I have some experience of my own!

    I had that the other day but thanks to the advice here, some Dovo paste and a spare strop I am back on target!

    There is so much help available and it's given so generously it's the only place to be!

    Default Welcome, alexaggie

    I'll bet your razor needs a little keening, or perhaps your stropping needs a little more work. Here's to hoping and helping you get the shaves you deserve.
