Just wanted to say hello. I've been lurking for a while and have read a lot of useful information here. I've used an electric razor since I was about 20 and I'm currently 42. For the last couple of months I've been using cartridge razors for a closer shave then started reading about straight razor shaving. Well needless to say I took the plunge and bought the beginning essentials to start. This morning I did my first straight shave. Granted it took me about a half hr with my wife asking me if everything is ok, but it was AWESOME. I did prob about 2 passes and was slow and nervous but I believe it is something I am going to really enjoy. Although right now I can still smell the badger hair on me. Thanks for all the great info and videos. Chris from Ct

Welcome,
A good place to get used to the jargon and then be able to ask questions is the Library:
Straight Razor Place Library - Straight Razor Place Library

And the badger smell will go away if you shampoo the brush a few times with your shampoo....or just wait a while. It wears off the brush after a while unless yours came from the wrong end of the badger

Hello and welcome to SRP
Where are you writing from?

Just a suggestion, but as Raol reminded me, you ought to put your location in your public profile. You might be surprised at how many experienced people who may be nearby.
