Greetings from CT

I have been poring through volumes of information on this forum every chance I get. I shave with a DE, and am DETERMINED to learn to shave with a straight. I am not squeamish when it comes to blood. ;) Seriously, this has been on my "list of things to do/learn before I die" ever since I learned how to wet shave close to 30 years ago.

I have to admit that despite wetshaving for years, most of the straight-specific stuff is unfamiliar to me. I am trying to learn as much as I can at this time. I think I am ready for a first shave ready razor to learn on!

Anyway, this site has been an amazing resource and I am glad to be here. Thanks guys.

One quick piece of advice: If you feel the urge to sneeze, pull the blade away from your face!
