Newbie- Hello

Hello all!
I have been lurking through the posts and though I should register and make it official.
I am not (yet) a collector. I am just tired of the poor job shavers do.
I thought about the advancing shave technologies said to myself "There's got to be a beter way." A little internet searching and I am on the str8 bandwagon.
I am in the process of aquiring my first blade. Your posts are an excellent resource for me.

Thanks
Jeff :)

Hi Jeff. If you're new to straight razor shaving I highly recommend picking up a copy of Lynn Abrams' (the founder of SRP) DVD before you go shopping for razors, strops etc. It covers pretty much every aspect of straight razor ownership and use - it's pretty much regarded as a 'must have' around here!

You can get it from Classicshaving or direct from Lynn himself.

Welcome to the club. :)

Hey Jeff,

Be sure and check out www.thewellshavedgentleman.com and the starter sets he has. Tony Miller runs the place and he is a member here.

Whatever you decide to do make sure that the razor is both honed and shave tested . New razors from Dovo or TI are not shave ready from the manufacturer.

Welcome to the SRP!:)

Welcome aboard, Jeff. Here are a few translations:
RAD = Razor Acquisition Disorder
BAD = Brush Acquisition Disorder
SAD = Soap Acquisition Disorder
CAD = Cats Are Delicious :nj
