Thread: Hello & Intro

Hi Matt, welcome to SRP. Love to see the photos of your antique shop finds. Check out the Wiki in the toolbar above if you haven't already and the videos section here. You will have a head start like I did having gotten the prep and the multiple pass technique down before you start straight razor shaving. Here is another good thing to read to start.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I will definitely be checking out all the links you've given me. Lots of reading to do!

Hey Truckman,
Good to see you on this board too.

Thanks Oso, good to see you too.

Welcome Truckman..

Now that you will be entering the straight path pretty soon it is good to ask some directions..
Well you just go straight ahead, find a straight.. get it it honed, do a lot of beardprep, take a deep breath... and then shave a little... do the rest with the DE and live to shave another day..
when you get to that point please ask directions again...there are a lot of people here that know the way..

Welcome to the forum! We will be needing photo's at some point soon though! You've got the headstart with DE shaving. Give your skin time to acclimatise to a straight & once it has you'll be amazed at how gentle a shave they can give. Of course from time to time they can be less gentle, but that helps with the learning process!
