Hi I've been reading a lot of good stuff on this site. So i finaly decided to join .I'vebeen shaving with a straight for about three months now.so iI've cut down on the iron tablets and plasters but still keep some for emergency use. Here in the UK we do not seam to have the barbers or places to go and buy razors strops etc so this forum is about the only place you can discuss shaving and equipment so keep up the good work
