Hey Everyone,
I figured it was time to say hello lol, I've been lurking on the forums and classifieds since 2008 and finally decided to take the plunge. Straight razors have fascinated me for a while and I'm still in the process of finding my first blade. (being a student these things can get a bit pricey).
Funny story is I finally found one in the classifieds but missed it some lucky person ended up with a good razor for a good price! congrats to the winner on that one! lol. Anyhow it prompted me to sign up and finally take that first step.
Everyone on here seems really knowledgeable and I've been reading about honing and stropping, I've watched all the videos about 50 times and now I think I'm ready to give this a shot. I'm not new to honing steel or steelwork I've done some work with swords and hilting. So, I think those skills will transition over nicely.
Anyhow I figured I'd finally step up and say hello! and thanks to everyone for the wealth of knowledge that's been shared on this forum.
Cheers,
- Tam -
