Hi. Welcome to SRP. We have indeed dedicated ourselves here to foster the art of straight razor shaving, and to help people along the way. That and world domination of course, but the latter needs a bit more work before we can really get started

I will move your post to the newbies corner. That is where most people introduce themselves, and where you can get a ton of advice on all aspects of this fine art.

Be sure to get information on what to buy before you buy anything. That is the best way to prevent disappointment. There is a ton of crappy goods floating around on ebay and other places. There is also a ton of good stuff floating around, but it is not easy for newbies to tell the difference

And if you have any questions, just ask.
Have fun
