Hello everyone,

Here goes my first post. My first straight razor came in the mail today and it felt just like Christmas. I just finished my first shave and man, I've got some serious razor burn. I nicked myself a little under the nose, but not too bad. Also, not the closest shave I've ever had, but I guess that will come with practice. Over all, it wasn't a bad experience and I can see how, over time, this can be a very enjoyable pastime.

I just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself. And I'm sure I'll be posting more in the future as I try to figure out all this shaving stuff. Though, I got Lynn's DVD to give me a headstart on it.
