Hello everyone. I'm new to straight razor shaving and this forum looks like a good place to come up to speed. I found myself increasing dissatisfied with the quality of shave from my Mach III not to mention the never ending expense. I started looking at other options and concluded that I could either have an electric chew my face off or shave with a deadly weapon. Who wouldn't want to learn the art of shaving with a weapon. And thats why i'm here.
I purchased an HM Christiansen off ebay for 15 bucks. Wasn't sharp enouch to cut butter. So i began some basic research into honing and found that there's a lot more to this. Most of the opinions here detail taking things step by step so thats the approach i'll take. I've got plenty of time to pick up honing down the road.
From what i've read in the forums, it looks like i'll be sending out some PM's to buy my equipment from some members here. I look forward to mastering this skill and meeting some new people in the process.
