    Talking It's a pleasure to meet you all!

    Hi everyone!
    I'm a newbie that would like to get started with straight razors, I thought this place would be the best place to ask my questions.
    I'm a 24 yo guy who's getting sick of buying expensive cartridges. I also have a very sensitive skin, and the razor burn and irritation is taking a toll.

    I guess we'll get to know each other better throughout my learning journey into straight razors.
    Have a great day!

    Welcome, this place has tons of material and advise to get you going.

    Yes, razor cartridges like printer ink cartridges are a horrible money grab. You might try out a double edge as a stepping stone to the straight. You might even find it to be what you're looking for. Good luck, have fun!

    +1 Agree with above. Your rate of learning will increase dramatically if yo can get some one on one time with someone local to you!
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.
