Thread: Newbie here! Been lurking for a week!

Hello everybody!
I've been interested in learning this old school technique for a while rather than using the typical safety razors.
I bought an old Vintage Boker 346 Extra Hollow Ground off ebay to begin with so far (i'll post pics once it gets delivered).
I have not bought my brush or any other necessities yet. I will buy them soon, once I save up more money.
Glad to be here on SRP!!!

welcome to SRP. First tip make sure the razor is properly honed and shave ready, make sure you get a strop as your next buy it is an important piece of equipment. and make sure you enjoy the learning as it can have a steep curve for some people. again welcome and enjoy

Welcome to the family!

You find allot of great resources and knowledge here all you need to do is ask!
As sinnfein said make sure the blase is shave ready and properly honed and stropped before you use it. Let us know where you are and the might be some one near you who is willing to help!

just my thought get on google look for how to make a strop you,r self & how to honed to save you,r self some money welcome LLALM
