Howdy, my name's Scott and I live in Cedar Rapids, IA.

I bought an old "W. H. Sample" 5/8 razor off eBay a year ago, attempted to sharpen it with sandpaper on glass, strop it with an old leather belt, and shave with some regular foamy, but didn't stick with it for long. Now that my electric Norelco's blades are wearing out, I'm eager to ditch it for good instead of simply buying new blades (I'm sensible like that).

So now I'm serious: I've purchased Lynn's DVD, ordered one of Tony's kits, and have decided to de-lurk on SRP. Lots of cool folks here, nice to meet you.
