I'm a college student and am absolutely new to straight shaving. I've been doing research for a while and so I decided to go ahead and order a set from Kenrup. I decided to get a brush and soap too so I can get the full experience. It all arrives on Monday.

I've decided to try straights for a variety of reasons, mainly because I can never get a close enough shave. I've tried the disposables and electric and it's just not working as well as I want. Also, I'm a history buff, so when I think of straight razors I think of Imperial British officers in the depths of Africa. I think that's awesome. Also, there is no cooler way to shave one's face - period.

So yeah, I've been reading a lot around here and you've already been extremely helpful. Just wanted to say hi!
