Thread: Fir"s"t Time

So to expand a little, sorry if Im posting an extension of my story the wrong way, I've never posted anything before-anywhere! I got so impatient waiting for my shaving kit from classicshaving that I've bought five other straights from antique stores- tried sharpening( with no guidance) and even broke one down and made what I believe to be a beautiful cocbolo handle. Today finally I recieved my set at work, this morning I new it was coming and even shaved only my neck, chin and lip leaving my cheeks so I could try it out as soon as it arrived. So needless to say I didnt take the time I should of because I didnt even have enough hot water at work to do the job properly, but it worked well enough that no one looked twice or anything. Anyhoo - terribly excited about this all and glad to find others with similar interest, thanks for being here!

Congrats on the new gear and the shave! As others have said, there are a lot of knowledgeable members here who can answer any questions you might have.

Good luck!

Wow, talk about jumping in head first. I can't believe you took apart a razor and made new scales before you even got started shaving.

Welcome to you, and I will watch for your postings in the restoration area!
