Ive been given a personal invitation to join this board. I am also a member of B&B but feel this is better suited for me since Im interested in shaving with a straight soon until the end. I'm 25 and have just recently acquired a Savile Row 3122 and a host of soap/creams from Germany, Portugal and Italy. I currently own a 34c DE as well but dislike it. I shave daily with 3 passes with an M3 and always get butter smooth skin or "BBS" as they say but looking to make the switch soon. I'm in need of a good (type) straight and will get it professionally honed even before my first shave. I plan to own two in case one drops during my shower!
