Thread: Allow me to introduce myself..

Hello, all I have been lurking this site for a while. I finally deicided to join. My first straight was bought from Mr. Lynn Abrams around the time when SRP was still a yahoo group. This was around 4 years ago it was a filly Razor. I got one average shave and stopped beacause I did not understand how to strop or hone back then. I decided to keep it as a collector piece. Around that same time I purchased a Feather Str8 and the super pro, pro and guard blades. The guard blades did not suit me, the pro gave a good shave and the Super pro gave the best shave with around a 48 hours lapse before my hair came back. As I got into my 20's as it should, my beard got very coarse and heavy not to mention moderately sensitive skin. My main set up was a mach 3, feather Str8 super pro blades and creamo cream. Now lets fast foward up intill a year ago I was still using a mach 3 and feather Str8 with creamo cream untill Mach 3 cartridges becames too expensive to afford ( I tend to wear out DE blades and Cartridges very fast due to my coarse beard.) I purchased around that time multiple DE's which I still have and use today. But I was looking for something that gave me the closest shave( so far a feather Str8). I have many Str8 razors that need restoring and scales. I plan to get a strop and some hones so I can start shaving with a Str8 on a more permanet basis I have Bill's restoration CD which I plan to read soon. Thanks everyone for your time.
