Thread: Looking to buy my first Straight Razor!

Welcome. Everything mentioned above is spot on. I recommend two things (as a Newbie myself...started last June)

1. Listen to the advice above. These guys know what they're talking about!
2. Find someone in your area that can mentor you. I'd bet if you put your location in your avatar you'll get a PM in about 24 hrs. This is a GREAT bunch here always willing to pass their experience on.

The only other thing I'll add is: once you get set up and start shaving angle, angle, angle, and shave the lather!
