Hello All! My name is Johnny I am new here and looking to start shaving with a straight. I have been wetshaving for several years using DE razors.
I have been scouring the thrift and antique stores nearby with no luck yet in finding my first straight... the search continues... I just wanted to stop in and introduce myself.
Welcome aboard Johnny! Cruise our BST section and you may find a few good deals and more than likely they'll be shave ready to boot.
Thanks, I will do that.....
Hey, Johnny, I see you're a musician! A bunch of guys here play instruments, there was a thread recently that I will have to track down again. Anyway, welcome!

Welcome Johnny! Not only is the BST a great place to find a razor, if you post a "Wanted: Newbie Razor" ad, SOMEONE WILL respond. And usually pretty quick, too.
Have fun!

Welcome Johnny. As you will see, this is a great forum. I have been here a couple of weeks, and have found everyone to be EXTREMELY helpful. In case you haven't come across it yet, I urge you to get Lynn's DVD. It really helps all of the information come together.
Good luck, and let us know how you do.

I got a Wapienca.... here's a picture of it.... I would like to thank WelshWarrior for offering this for sale!
Fantastic razor to start with! Congrats on the purchase, and good luck on your shaves!
Good luck with the new razor, Onion! Those have a pretty good reputation for shavability.
Congrats on the Wapi! Those are good razors to learn with and to re-scale as well. I've got one of them as well and I am very pleased with it!:tu
Welcome to SRP Johnny! Nice grab on the Wapi - lots of us guys like them!!
Welcome over from FPN. Now you have something else to eat up all you're spare cash.
We just have to get you into watches and maybe knives and then you'll really be broke. ;)
Already a watch collector... Guitars, amps, fountain pens and Zippo lighters as well...Quote:

I'm sure you'll see quite a few familiar faces, as well.
