I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking here for a little bit, trying to gather information. The more I lurk, the more questions arise. I've had a ton of fun just reading posts about razors, soaps, techniques, rituals, etc. I'm 36, married with 2 kids. I recently had my first shave at a shop here in Orlando and it lit a fire in me. I am definately drawn into the many aspects of straight shaving that have been so well written on these message boards. The nostalgia of old times, the! calming effect of the routine, the masculinity of the process....I'm drawn to it all.

I haven't purchased a thing, but that will be changing in the near future. I've gathered some great info, but like I stated earlier, it's only leading to more questions. I look forward to chatting with you fellas and learning as much as possible.

Slainte/Cheers!
