    Default What's up SRP?

    I'm new to SRP and straight shaving, although I've been wetshaving with a DE for about 8 months now.
    (I came here from... er... well, another shaving forum... ok it was B&B, but no badger-bashing please!)

    I've got my first razor - a cheap vintage J.A. Henckels that has been honed by a friend - and a Illinois hanging strop.
    I've gotten some pretty good shaves from it, although I admit I'm still working on my technique.
    I look forward to the future when I'll have my first quality razor and the ability to hone it!

    Hi there,
    Welcome over! DE shaving is great for teaching many of the methods required for straight shaving, & you already have a lot of the gear needed.
    The Henckels is a quality razor!

    Smile Welcome, huntmol

    Many of us like most of the folks over at B&B so there's no need to fear a bash fest. Nice to see you stepping up to the plate though.

    G'day & Welcome.

    Ditto on the Henckels being a quality razor.
    You're lucky to have a friend who can hone. No doubt he'll show you how & you'll be well on your way.

    Welcome!

    I also have an account on both boards.(Gotta make sure all the DE users see a straight shaver presence )
    Welcome to the dark side.


    I have a henckels 4/8 myself, they're great shavers. Keep practicing, there's lots of helpful users available here to answer your questions. Again, welcome to the forum.
