    Default My first straight is in the mail!

    Well I finally went and did it, after 2 years of shaving with a DE blade I ordered my first straight from whipped dog! A sight unseen and a poor mans strop, it should be here by next Wednesday. I am very excited and hopeful that I don't totally screw it up with my poor stropping skills. Wanted to share it all with you and ask for any advice on dealing with my first real straight.

    Thanks!

    Welcome to the club.
    Start reading the beginners section in the Library and start practicing stropping on your pants leg with a butter knife.

    Way to go. Yeah I am new too, been using the straight a week and cut myself good and proper on my first try but it's comming together quickly. Don't pull a me and heed the info on here. Lots of good stuff for one who is willing to pay a little attention. Best of luck

    Congrats on the purchase. Best advice is go slow. Take it bit by bit and fall back on the DE if uncomfortable. It will all come together soon enough. Good luck
