New to the forum, but have been straight shaving for about 6 months. Unfortunately I wasnt privy to the wonder of StraightRazorPlace.com, and bought a Zeepk for my first razor. Ouch to say the least, but worked through that for almost 3 months. Finally upgraded to a W&B, and am moving along nicely. Bad news is that I live out of the country and have finally run the blade down good, so I was forced to switch back to that evil, evil Mach 3.

There's just something about that straight shave now that starts my day off right. Im contemplating a beard until I can get home and hone that bad boy up and get back to baby face.

But just wanted to say hello, and look forward to dropping paychecks on this new hobby of mine!
